    Don't let what it looks/seems like today fool you. They called it Shantytown as the houses were half tent, half house, it became a full-time, cheap place to live during and after the Depression. In the 40's they used to pump raw sewage right into the sound, right there. In the 70's and '80s, they called it 'Sledgewater', the most filthy, disgusting ghetto where people mostly owned their own dilapidated homes, which didn't say much for an all-white neighborhood where everybody lived literal feet from one another and grew up together their whole lives. A place where the people loved to turn you into the co-op for absolutely no reason just to make themselves feel good, they even came up with different colored discriminatory stickers they made you put in your car's window so they would know if you were a renter or a 'shareholder'. Before it became a co-op, Edgewater was completely land rent owned by the Shaw family who owned it all before people started living there full time. This means you owned the house you lived in but paid monthly rent to the park for the land under your house but you did not own the land, Shaw had a 99-year lease with the residents until it went co-op. Thereafter any new residents who bought a house had no choice but to buy into the co-op. It was a place where you could never have anything nice, if the local scumbag punks kids couldn't steal it they would come in the middle of the night and vandalize or damage it any way they could, if it wasn't locked down they would steal it. Alcoholism and hardcore drug use were rampant in Edgewater notably among its youth especially down in the parking lot by the old trailer grocery and candy stores, also up by Sweeney's grocery, more than normal would a resident youth overdose and sometimes die right in the street or on the beach of Edgewater Park. Arson, burglary, car theft, breaking into cars, assaults, even murder. They would steal things right out of residents' yards was a popular pastime for the youth of Edgewater Park in the '70s, 80s, 90's right up to the early 2000s, and it still goes on as those then youth never left and now have children of their own. Numerous abandoned houses, the parking garages, the old boatyard, and an untold number of car fires were set ablaze by resident youths, some of whom I can testify to were even members of the park's volunteer firehouse. There used to be a big main community building located right behind the bus stop that had a grocery store, bakery, hardware store, post office, and others that was set on fire by certain residents back in the 1970s. Even co-op board members sons liked to vandalize things inside the park like blowing up the bus shelter glass panels with fireworks, among many other things. Edgewater Park was a place where neighbors were envious of one another, a place where people who didn't even know anything about you, never even spoken to once in their life had bad things to say about you because they went on what others they heard say about you behind your back. Edgewater Park is/was a place where the people who knew you all their lives would get personal satisfaction from hearing that you were in a bad way, this was because they in their own lives were so miserable that they wanted to bring you down with them and make your life more miserable than theirs was, that's what living in Edgewater Park was all about...

      ​The only one false here is you. I said the Bronx River is the only river in New York City, which is factually true. The Hudson is not 'in' New York City. It's within the borders of New York State, and it also borders the state of New Jersey. And even though it's referred to as the Harlem 'River', it's not a river at all. It's actually a tidal strait. I'm surprised you didn't (incorrectly) include the East 'River', which also is not a river. It's a saltwater tidal estuary.
