Notably: George Hanns hasn’t lost a step. The former county commissioner–he served 24 years–was known for his wry one-liners, back when government had a sense of humor. That ended for good in Flagler County with the departure of Bob Cuff in 2020 from the Palm Coast City Council. Maybe that’s what Hanns had in mind when he appeared before the council last Tuesday, as all that talk of a building moratorium had everyone fevered up. I’m not exactly sure what Hanns intended to say. But when he was signaled that his time was up, he said: “I’ll just mention to you, people on this council, that next time you have a disagreement with your spouse, you tell them they have three minutes to respond.”

Lower Manhattan was like the jaw of a shark for the whole of its modern history, with long, toothlike piers jutting out at the end of every east/west street. “Your insular city of the Manhattoes, belted round by wharves as Indian isles by coral reefs,” Herman Melville wrote of it in Moby-Dick. But then Manhattan gave up its ships and longshoremen and their huge hawser ropes, all of them gone elsewhere by the late 1960s, and with them over the next twenty years went the piers that had given the city a salty brawn it has lacked ever since. I remembered from my cab-driving days what a bacchanalia those piers played host to every summer as they slowly collapsed into the river, but today the whole of the lower island along the Hudson has been scrubbed of protuberances and indentations. There is but one place to land a boat, a snug little harbor for rich yacht people called the North Cove Marina. I had called ahead for permission to come ashore there and the manager, Mike Revier, shot back a note: “North Cove would be happy to provide you a landing in Manhattan. At no charge, of course.”

–From Neil King’s American Ramble (2023) .
