I think the NY Times read my last blog (check it out here)...
"The Metro-North station has been restored to its 1911 Beaux Arts self; its reputation as a locus for prostitution and drug dealing is now a memory.
Leading out to the water, a Victorian-era pier - less than a decade ago a site where homeless people gathered - is a New York Water Taxi embarkation point for Wall Street. It is also home to a glass-enclosed 260-seat restaurant overlooking the Palisades and other Hudson River marvels"

The opening sentence describes the progress very well "LIKE a caterpillar undergoing a metamorphosis, the down-and-out industrial waterfront of Yonkers is shedding its old skin." One of my concerns which was also shared by local Realtor/trustee of the Yonkers Historical Society/member of the City Council's Green Policy Task Force, Nortrud Wolf Spero, "upscale is nice but an area should retain its diversity".
