Crabs In The Hudson
Personal memory by Linda LaRocca
1972 • Yonkers, NY, USA
I was a child in the early 1970's Yonkers, NY. I went to the Hudson River with my father for the day with crab nets. It was a beautiful day of bonding and excitement. Every time I pulled the net out of the river filled with crabs, we would actually go home and prepare a delicious meal. I can't believe we did that. Unfortunately, my beautiful Hudson isn't as clean any more.
