TITLE: "A sea-side town where every house can see the sea"
QUESTION [10 upvotes]: This is a reference request. 
The phrase in the title is, if I remember correctly, how Eli Stein described the following set (the definition may be faulty, but I think it is right): 

There exists a set $S$, which is a subset of the unit square $[0,1]^2\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ with full Lebesgue measure, with the property that for any point $p\in S$ there exists a line $\ell \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ such that $\ell \cap S = \{ p\}$. 

I vaguely remember the theorem being attributed to one of the Rieszes (not sure M. or F.; I might also be completely wrong about that). 
Can someone tell me whether my rough statement of the theorem above is correct, and better yet, can someone give a reference to the paper which proved it? (I know a paper exists; I remember digging it up in the bowels of the library when I was a beginning graduate student. I am sad to say that two moves later I can no longer find my photocopy of that article.)

REPLY [12 votes]: This is a Nikodymn set. I haven't seen a citation to Nikodymn's original paper, but the history is breifly discussed (with references) in Stein's survey article Singular Integrals: The Roles of Calderón and Zygmund.
Edit: Stein's Harmonic Analysis cites this to: "O. Nikodym, Sur les ensembles accessibles, Fund. Math. 1927 10:116-168"
