You can get more money for the housing if it's on a "shore" instead of a
"side" or "bank."  Greed is good, they say.

What's all this "North Shore" business in Pittsburgh?

I always thought rivers, creeks, canals, brooks and all other flowing
waterways had "banks."

And I thought that bodies of water such as ponds, lakes, reservoirs, oceans,
etc. had "shores."

Correct me if I'm wrong.
