LOL...A block is exaggerated, it's a looong block, I drive which makes it seem shorter but if I rode a bike it would be an easy reach. I hadn't been down there much in recent years since Geo and I had been driving down to Robert Moses or more distant spots for water views but we made a pit stop down there last week while he was here. I had forgotten how much I used to visit and enjoy it when I was by myself. I'd stop to eat my coffee and a roll in the morning after I picked them up or after dinner in the evening. As I mentioned, at this time of year, the action to view is non-stop. This is a view taken before Sandy..the pier has since been renewed and renovated but it will give you an idea of what I've described as action.
