>I just forgot to mention that the Narrows is not a river, but more of a >strait. The body of water between Brooklyn, and Staten Island. How embarrassing to make a mistake like that, especially when I live in Bay Ridge (where the Verrazano is all you've got to be proud of), whose bike path and Shore Road have ALWAYS been there for the public to enjoy a nice view, except of course for the Belt Parkway, but there's easy ways to work around that. And the conversation has become too local now and I apologize.
