Question: What town does Speonk and Speonk, New York have in common?
Context: The Recorder of New York City was a municipal officer of New York City from 1683 until 1907.  He was at times a judge of the Court of General Sessions, of the Court of Special Sessions, and the New York Court of Common Pleas; Vice-President of the Board of Supervisors of New York County; Vice-President of the Board of Aldermen of New York City; Deputy Mayor of New York City; a director of the Bank of the Manhattan Company; a commissioner of the city's Sinking fund; a commissioner of the Metropolitan Police Board; and sat on the boards of a large number of charitable organizations.  The Recorder was not a recorder of deeds, these were kept by the Register of New York City. The Selkirk Hurdle is the term used by urban planners, railroad employees, politicians, and others to describe the route that must be taken by freight trains traveling between New York City and other points in downstate New York that are east of the Hudson River, and locations in the United States to the south and west.  There are no rail freight bridges or tunnels that cross the Hudson River south of Selkirk, which is 10 miles (16 km) south of Albany and the home of Selkirk Yard, a major CSX classification yard.  As a result, trains from Long Island and New York City (except for the borough of Staten Island which has a rail bridge to New Jersey) must travel 140 mi north to cross at Selkirk before continuing on their way.  Advocates claim that this detour and the inefficiencies that result force New York City to rely more heavily on relatively inefficient trucks than most parts of the United States, where freight trains are more common.  However, at least for traffic to and from the west, this route was touted for its efficiency as the "Water Level Route" by the New York Central Railroad because trains using it did not have to climb over the Appalachian Mountains, and it is still used by the New York Central's successor, CSX, for traffic to both sides of the Hudson River.

Eastern Hills Mall is a shopping mall located at the western border of the Town of Clarence in Erie County, New York, United States.  It lies on Transit Road (New York State Route 78, a 73.49-mile state highway), which in the vicinity of the mall, divides Clarence, New York from the town of Amherst, New York east of (Buffalo, New York).  The mall is north of the junction of NY-78 with NY-5, and Main Street.  The name "Eastern Hills" refers to the very low hills that contribute to a slightly higher elevation than the bordering areas along the Onondaga Escarpment.  Eastern Hills Mall is part of a long commercial strip on Transit Road.  It consists of two long wings running north and south and one short wing running east and west, which connects the north-south wings in a "double L-shaped" formation.  A major department store is at the end of each wing.  A food court is located adjacent to the end of the long south wing.  A three-screen movie theater showing mainly independent films is also located in the mall, as well as a small New York State Department of Motor Vehicles office.  Surrounding the mall is a large, but generally unkept, parking lot.  The ratio of the mall is so large, it provides the highest parking ratio of any Buffalo area mall.  Much of the parking lot space is leased to area car dealerships to store overstock vehicles due to the low volume of shoppers at the mall.  Eastern Hills Mall is currently at approximately 70% occupancy, with many vacant stores throughout the mall and popular anchor store Dave & Busters shuttering its doors in 2015 to move to the nearby Walden Galleria.  Eastern Hills is considered by many area residents to be a "dead mall" and is listed on the website Deadmalls.com.  Most major and nationally recognized retailers have left and been replaced by independently owned "mom-and-pop" type stores, selling crafts and homemade goods.  It is common for retailers to open and close within their first few months, unable to turn a profit due to the low volume of shoppers that still visit Eastern Hills Mall.
