It cut through cemeteries and residential real estate, requiring the relocation of burial sites and the razing of homes. The parkway's tricky route is why it reportedly took much longer to build than other New York City parkways. It also has many curves -- because the planners and builders had sought to minimize the number of burial plots that had to be relocated.
Like many places in New York, that parkway has secrets....

ReplyDeleteI always think of the Enron era, the billions lost and lives destroyed. They're really no worse than the robber barons who stole fortunes and formed many of today's ruling dynasties.
