I grew up on Long Island, not far from the Robert Moses Expressway. Was too young, I guess.
Who WAS Robert Moses, actually? Never did know, except well, from this column I see he was a builder on LI.
Robert Moses destroyed NYC. Tore down entire neighborhoods. Turned integrated areas to segregated areas to build his Utopian housing projects and freeways. He was corrupt and had huge ego. Yes, I read Robert Caro's book on Robert Moses.
