Why are there tombstones around Socrates Sculpture Park? A look at a riverside New York City park surrounded by a wall of tombstones.
It seems that very few people have asked this question, at least on the internet, and there are no obvious answers. There is, however, a fascinating history behind this little park, as well as a whole host of possibilities for how this site came by its morbid gravestone wall.
Highlights include:
• The ultimate NYC villian: real estate developers
• A forgotten creek
• Queens' penchant for illegal dumping grounds
• Cool sculptures
