An East River walk named for some guy I've never heard of

It's healthy to do a lot of walking the day after the marathon. They say it loosens up your muscles. So on Monday, I checked out the John Finley Walk, an elevated walkway adjacent to the FDR Drive along the Upper East Side of Manhattan

I'm guessing it's this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Huston_Finley

I went to Lollapalooza on Randall's Island in 1995. Crap, I'm old.

I saw that Wikipedia article, too, and he's definitely the closest match -- but there's no proof the walk was named after him, and it would seem kind of hard to believe unless he had some friends in the Parks Department. Weird.
