I can see some potential. It's sad that Staten Island never really tried to capitalize on those harbor views before...

I like those steep, wooded hills on the North Shore of Staten Island.

Interesting area.

Nice! My apartment has a view of this area from across the harbor, but I've never been, other than the ferry terminal. Should go check it out sometime. It's got way more character than what "Staten Island" brings to mind. I'm sure that's the case with a lot of the island, though.
