"For those who do not care to prowl about for the scattered bits of interest or who prefer what would call "a magnificent panorama," there are plenty of good points of vantage from which to see whole sections at once, such as the or the tops of high buildings, or, obviously, Brooklyn Bridge, which is so very obvious that many Manhattanese would never make use of this opportunity were it not for an occasional out-of-town visitor on their hands. No one ought to be allowed to live in —he ought to be made to live in —who does not go out there and look back at his town once a year. He could look at it every day and get new effects of light and color. Even in sky-line he could find something new almost every week or two."
