New York City lampoon by a harbor master’s yarn
A Syracuse Post-Standard guest narrator tours New York City through a harbor master James D. Murray at Pier 33. He recalls old neighborhoods, the federal building, St Anthony’s Church plans, and the riverfront life while noting the city’s drift toward a man-made metropolis and fond memories of transportation work and local figures. He observes street life near Times Square, news racks, and spring protest poetry amid urban bustle.
