Many waterfront cities have…well, blighted waterfronts. “How to reclaim all that wasted property? There are plenty of models: the self-consciously quaint shopping mall at Manhattan’s South Street Seaport, slowly turning into a dilapidated relic; the strip of skater heaven along the Hudson River; the maritime Pacific Bell stadium in San Francisco; the harborside courthouse in Boston. Everyone with a slice of waterfront to save, however modest, should also make a pilgrimage to the North Fork village of Greenport, where Mayor David Kapell’s decade-long quest to restore a patch of bayside blight has finally come to fruition.”
