Abandoned, Vacant, and Re-purposed places in the Northeast
Here are the stories of these places:
Dunkirk Generating Station: Closed at the end of 2015
Lake Street Bridge: Closed in 2011 due to structural deficiencies, but is going to reopen in the future to pedestrians and cyclists once repairs occur.
St. Cabrini Novitiate: Directly behind the St. Cabrini nursing home, built in the early 1900's.
Steel Point: This vacant lot has plans to be redeveloped in the future.
Centralia: Near-ghost town in Columbia County, PA, due to an underground mine fire directly underneath the borough. The fire started in 1962, and after several failed attempts to extinguish it, most residents were moved out, and most buildings were razed in 1992.
Graffiti Highway: One road leading into Centralia was damaged by the mine fire, and the state eventually built another road around it, and stopped repairing it.
Flight 93 National Memorial: One of the four hijacked flights from September 11th, 2001 landed here. The visitor center opened in 2015.
Water Tower: This is the last remaining building/structure from the Anaconda Wire and Cable Company factory on the waterfront in Hastings-on-Hudson. There are plans to redevelop the area in the future, and possibly with keeping the water tower.
Wilmington Riverwalk: Old cranes were placed on the Riverwalk at Dravo Plaza.
Hermit Ruins: Irvington Hermit Johann Stolting built small buildings in the Irvington Woods in the 1880's. Many ruins, as well as his grave, are still there.
GM Plant: The land between Kingsland Point and downtown Sleepy Hollow was filled in for a General Motors plant, which closed in the 1990's. It is currently being redeveloped.
Old Croton Aqueduct: The first aqueduct carrying water from the Croton River to New York City was built in 1837 and operated until 1955, when a new aqueduct rendered it obsolete.
Asbury Park Casino: The building fell into ruins, and the carousel was moved out in the 1980's. It is still being fixed up.
Long Point: Former fishing town. All residents had moved out by the end of the 1950's, by sailing their houses across the harbor into downtown Provincetown. The lighthouse remains, but the area is only used as a beach.
Ellis Island: Major US immigration station from 1892 to 1964. Became a museum in 1990. A 1998 Supreme Court ruling determined that most of the island is officially in New Jersey.
Godfrey Windmill: Built in 1797, but was mostly shut down in the early 1900's. Repaired several times, and is now part of Chase Park in Chatham.
Knobley Tunnel: Former railway tunnel, reopened in 2011 to pedestrian and cyclist traffic.
SteelStacks: Former home of Bethlehem Steel, which closed in 2003. It has been transformed into a museum.
March Through Westchester County (suburban New York)
In this 1996 clip, through Croton-on-Hudson, New York, I am driving on a bad day, with the camera in my hand, somehow managing a stick shift. I did not add music to this one, relying instead on my car radio and the sounds of nature.
We end up, as usual at Riverview Farm. The river view was in the winter, only!

I’m here to tell you there is a different side of Washington State. A side that gets less rain than Phoenix, a side that is dry and brown, not green and wet. And the Mighty Columbia River runs right through it, nourishing irrigated crops in an otherwise dry landscape. I managed to capture some neat shots with my DJI Phantom 4 Pro and wanted to share…Enjoy!

Finding Good Crappie Fishing Spots
Jason made a point in the fall and winter to look for new crappie fishing spots with his electronics. He started in some productive arms of the lake and idled along break lines looking for brush piles with fish.
These creek channel edges are often where fishermen like to drop their brush piles. So Jason scanned with Lowrance HDS 3D Structure Scan for likely looking spots and brush piles until he found schools of crappie holding on them.
Once he saw a good school of fish on a brush pile, he stopped and fished it. He would cast a jig over the top, when they quit biting that, he would pitch to the piles from a closer distance, and finally he would get right on top of them and fish vertically on the pile.
He had one of the best fall/winter periods for crappie fishing in recent years by getting out and hunting for fish more with his electronics.

DROUGHT CRISIS: Fires Widespread, Water Supplies Low
Blazing sun beats down on parched earth from Maine to Texas as the nation suffers one of the worst droughts on record. Fires blaze in 21 States - fires by the hundreds ravaging woodlands that are tinder dry. Rainfall has been negligible for a month and since January precipitation has been only 54% of normal. New York City's reservoirs are filled to only 1/3 of capacity - a predicament faced by every major city. The Croton System - a New York reserve - is so low that revolutionary farms are visible for the first time in decades.

SUMMARY
=======
The Hudson River is a 315-mile (507 km) river that flows from north to south primarily through eastern New York in the United States. The river originates in the Adirondack Mountains of Upstate New York, flows southward through the Hudson Valley, and eventually drains into the Atlantic Ocean at New York Harbor, between New York City and Jersey City. The river serves as a political boundary between the states of New Jersey and New York at its southern end. Further north, it marks local boundaries between several New York counties. The lower half of the river is a tidal estuary, deeper than the body of water into which it flows, occupying the Hudson Fjord, an inlet which formed during the most recent period of North American glaciation, estimated at 26,000 to 13,300 years ago. Tidal waters influence the Hudson's flow from as far north as the city of Troy.
The river is named after Henry Hudson, an Englishman sailing for the Dutch East India Company, who explored it in 1609, and after whom Hudson Bay in Canada is also named. It had previously been observed by Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano sailing for King Francis I of France in 1524, as he became the first European known to have entered the Upper New York Bay, but he considered the river to be an estuary. The Dutch called the river the North River – with the Delaware River called the South River – and it formed the spine of the Dutch colony of New Netherland. Settlements of the colony clustered around the Hudson, and its strategic importance as the gateway to the American interior led to years of competition between the English and the Dutch over control of the river and colony.
During the eighteenth century, the river valley and its inhabitants were the subject and inspiration of Washington Irving, the first internationally acclaimed American author. In the nineteenth century, the area inspired the Hudson River School of landscape painting, an American pastoral style, as well as the concepts of environmentalism and wilderness. The Hudson was also the eastern outlet for the Erie Canal, which, when completed in 1825, became an important transportation artery for the early-19th-century United States.
