North Dumpling Island

North Dumpling Island is a two-acre (8,100 m2) island in Fishers Island Sound of Long Island Sound, one mi (1.6 km) off the coast of Connecticut, south of Groton, within the territory of the town of Southold on Long Island in New York State. The island is about 0.3 nmi (560 m) north of South Dumpling Island, and is home to the North Dumpling Light, which dates from 1859. The island is privately owned by Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway. History In 1639, John Winthrop, son of the governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, bought Fishers Island and the small islets around it, including those called "The Dumplings". Ownership of the islands, including North Dumpling, remained with the Winthrop family until 1847, when it was sold to the federal government for $600 ($20,732 in 2025) to be the site of a lighthouse. The lighthouse and the keeper's dwelling were built and the light illuminated in 1859, and then rebuilt in 1871 with a taller tower. The lighthouse was deactivated in 1959, being replaced by an automated light on a skeleton tower, and the grounds and lighthouse were sold to a private party, George Washburn. The island was purchased in 1977 by David Levitt, president of the Doughnut Corporation of America, who remodeled and expanded the house. Levitt convinced the Coast Guard to move the light back to the stone tower and to remove the skeleton tower. Levitt added sculptures to the island, including Temple of the Four Winds, the Moon Rock, and Meditation Rock. In 1986, Dean Kamen, inventor of the Segway and founder of FIRST, purchased the island for US$2,500,000 ($7.34 million in 2025). After a denial from local officials to build his own wind turbine on the island, Kamen "seceded" from the United States. Although Kamen's secession is not legally recognized, he still refers to the island as the "Kingdom of North Dumpling" and has established a constitution, a flag, a currency (the dumpling), a national anthem, which is a parody of the song "America the Beautiful" written by Paul Lazarus, and a navy consisting of a single amphibious vehicle. The people of North Dumpling are called "Dumplonians", and Kamen is said to refer to himself as "Lord Dumpling" or "Lord Dumpling II". Despite still being a part of the United States, Kamen claimed he was able to leverage his personal relationship with then-president George H. W. Bush to sign an unofficial non-aggression pact. Kamen was eventually able to build his turbine, and the island's electrical system was later converted to a combination of wind and solar power with the help of Fritz Morgan, Chief Technology Officer of Philips Color Kinetics, operating independently of the regional electrical grid. This was accomplished by replacing all lighting on the island with LEDs, which resulted in a 70% reduction of in-house energy consumption. Kamen says that the island is carbon neutral due to solar panels on every building, a 10 kW wind turbine, and a "little" Stirling engine for backup power. In addition to North Dumpling Lighthouse, the island features a replica of Stonehenge. Gallery References External links Google Maps satellite image

North Dumpling Light

North Dumpling Light is a lighthouse on North Dumpling Island in Long Island Sound off Fishers Island, New York, United States. It was constructed in 1849, rebuilt in 1871, and deactivated in 1959, with the aid to navigation being moved to an automated metal tower placed nearby. The lighthouse itself and the grounds around it were sold to a private party. Around 1977, a new owner convinced the U. S. Coast Guard to return the light to the lighthouse and remove the skeleton tower. History A survey for a suitable location for a lighthouse in the area was undertaken by Lt. George M Bache, who concluded that two small lights, one on South Dumpling Island and one on North Dumpling would be preferable to a single light on North Dumpling. Congress ignored or disagreed with these findings, and authorized funds for a lighthouse on the north island in 1847. John Winthrop the Younger sold the island to the U.S. government in that year for $600. Construction on the light keeper's house and the 25-foot octagonal tower was completed and the light illuminated in 1849, the lens was upgraded in 1855. A fogbell was placed on the island by the New York and Stonington Steamboat Line, and the keeper was paid an additional $32 a year by the steamship line to operate it. However, when the keep – Alfred Clark at the time – learned that the keeper of Little Gull Island Light was paid $43, he refused to ring the bell any more. A government fog bell was installed in 1854. The lighthouse was rebuilt and relit in 1871, increasing the size of the tower to 29 feet and adding a mansard roof to the house. In 1893 a fifth order Fresnel lens and a new Funck lamp were installed, replacing the sixth order Fresnel lens that was installed in 1871. The lighthouse was deactivated in 1959, being replaced by an automated light on a skeleton tower, and the grounds and lighthouse were sold to a private party, George Washburn. The island was purchased in 1977 by David Levitt, president of the Doughnut Corporation of America, who remodeled and expanded the house. Levitt convinced the Coast Guard to move the light back to the stone tower and remove the skeleton tower. Dean Kamen purchased the island for US$2,500,000 in 1986.

Nutter's Battery

Nutter's Battery is a scenic overlook in the North Woods of Central Park in Manhattan, New York City, overlooking the Harlem Meer to the north. The battery was built during the War of 1812 as a small part of an extensive system of fortification intended to defend against a British invasion from the north. After the war, the wall fell into ruin and eventually disappeared. The Parks Department built a low wall in 1945 to mark the spot, and the Central Park Conservancy rebuilt the wall in 2014, adding paths and planting. The battery was named after Valentine Nutter, who owned the surrounding property. According to maps and illustrations of the time, the Battery was a redoubt connected to Fort Fish, by earthworks along the Old Post Road. At the line of 107th Street and Sixth Avenue (Lenox Avenue), the earthworks led to a gatehouse in the road at McGowan's Pass. From there the earthworks continued up a rocky hill to Fort Clinton.

Oak Point Yard

The Oak Point Yard is a freight railroad yard located in Hunts Point, The Bronx, New York City. The yard is owned by CSX Transportation, and is a base for CSX's local deliveries in the area, including to the Hunts Point Cooperative Market and for trains that interchange freight with the New York and Atlantic Railway at Fresh Pond Junction in Queens. CP Rail formerly handled some freight in and out of Oak Point, but during late 2010 entered a haulage-rights agreement with CSX under which CSX handles and forwards its local traffic between Oak Point and the Albany, New York area. Stone-hauling trains belonging to the Providence & Worcester Railroad operate through Oak Point during trips between New Haven, Connecticut and the NY&A at Fresh Pond, but no P&W freight is actually handled in the yard. Amtrak owns and operates two electrified tracks for the Northeast Corridor Line, on the northwest side of the yard. CSX uses the Oak Point Link, a connecting track along the Harlem River, to travel between the yard and the Metro-North Hudson Line, which is its primary access route into New York, while the P&W stone trains enter via the Northeast Corridor line to the northeast. CSX and P&W trains to Fresh Pond cross the Hell Gate Bridge onto Long Island. In 2009, CSX announced that four ultra-low emission Genset locomotives will operate full-time at its Oak Point Yard where they will be used to switch cars within the yard and for road switching service. The GenSet locomotives, manufactured by National Railway Equipment Company, reduce nitrous oxide and particulate matter emissions by 80 percent and can reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 50 percent by monitoring engine idling and switching to "sleep" mode after a period of inactivity. Oak Point Yard was formerly a Conrail facility, inherited from Penn Central, which in turn acquired the yard and associated lines in 1969 when it consummated a regulatory-induced, forced merger with the New Haven Railroad. In its New Haven days, Oak Point Yard covered a much larger area and was also a transfer point for railroad car floats that delivered railcars to waterfront terminals throughout New York Harbor.

Oakdale Commons (formerly Oakdale Mall) is an enclosed super-regional shopping mall in Johnson City, New York, United States, serving the Binghamton metropolitan area. The mall has a gross leasable area of 963,475 square feet (89,510 m2). The mall opened in 1975, by the development company, Interstate Properties. The mall's anchors are JCPenney, Dick's Sporting Goods, Beer Tree, Guthrie Health & Fitness, Guthrie Broome Orthopedic & Spine Surgery Center, Guthrie Medical Offices, Broome County KinderCare, Broome-Tioga Workforce NY, and BJ's Wholesale Club. In 2017, the Macy's anchor store closed. The building was eventually renovated as Dick's House of Sports, a specialty concept by Dick's Sporting Goods, which opened in 2023. In 2017, Sears closed its anchor store. The building was reconstructed as "Factory by Beer Tree", a restaurant offering two levels of indoor and outdoor dining space, and Lourdes Health and Fitness a gym with three pools, a steam room and sauna, and a fitness floor. In April 2018, The Bon-Ton chain went out of business and their anchor store closed. In 2023, the building was demolished and replaced by a new BJ's Wholesale Club. BJ's opened in January 2024. In September 2022, Burlington announced it would close and move to Town Square Mall in Vestal. On April 21, 2023, it was announced that Dave & Busters would open at the mall in 2024. On October 14, 2022, it was reported the mall envisions a $117 million plan to further develop the concourse while being known simply as Oakdale Commons. The mall developer proclaimed, "We have significant plans for further development." As of 2025 and into 2026, several areas of the mall are currently undergoing construction and redevelopment. This construction and redevelopment includes the former Burlington anchor to add new medical and retail facilities, new drainage systems, replacing the west side parking lot, a multiple story apartment complex in the north end of the mall, and new shops and restaurants near the south end of the mall. Several new stores and construction is also ongoing inside the mall to add new stores and services. Marshalls, Chick-Fil-A, Guthrie Broome Orthopedic & Spine Surgery Center, and an upcoming daycare center run by Broome County called Broome County KinderCare are among the current construction projects.
