But few agree on where The Hole is located. Some say The Hole is in Howard Beach, others say it is in Spring Creek or Ozone Park, or maybe East New York or Lindenwood. Residents do agree on one thing - The Hole is famous. Mostly because of the bodies. Or maybe the horses.<br /> <br /> The Hole is a small triangle of land divided in half by Brooklyn and Queens, and is located west of the intersection of Linden and Conduit Boulevard. The Hole is literally a hole. It is "30 feet below grade," according to the <a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E00EEDB153AF934A25753C1A9629C8B63">NY Times</a>, sunken down from the busy roads around it. The neighborhood floods often and is only a few feet above the water table, so its homes are "not incorporated into the city sewer system. They all have cesspools." Streets are threatened by reedy marshes, and many residents keep a boat parked in the driveway.<br /> <div> <br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-D6YoOqd6OjSjnLRYUH_x_Rlsn4oRnGSWNSO-3WfBW_GfkzQSQBA-jlDlRWls664wlMGvpn8hm8Un04KY3NvVeGoy9M3dRkliLxclo8ycAnf6cPvP-tUyxJxcZjDObwzd2aVcsElgIAs/s1600-h/DSC_3078+small.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372108643259864098" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-D6YoOqd6OjSjnLRYUH_x_Rlsn4oRnGSWNSO-3WfBW_GfkzQSQBA-jlDlRWls664wlMGvpn8hm8Un04KY3NvVeGoy9M3dRkliLxclo8ycAnf6cPvP-tUyxJxcZjDObwzd2aVcsElgIAs/s450/DSC_3078+small.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 450px;" /></a><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Marshes, Reeds & Road</span></span></div> <br /></div> <div> The Hole is well known for its holes. The New York Times has called it a "<a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=940CE0DC1F38F936A35753C1A9629C8B63">reputed mob dumping ground</a>" while Wikipedia refers to it as "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Massino">an infamous mob graveyard.</a>" People living in the neighborhood tell stories of how "200 dead bodies" were found up the street in a now-abandoned development, or how bodies are frequently "found by the side of the road." These stories are rooted in truth.<br /> <br /> In 2004, the FBI descended on the neighborhood, searching for the bodies of up to four men believed to be buried in an empty lot. They began digging in the same location where - 23 years earlier - "the body of a Bonanno crime family captain" was found dead, wrapped in a "yellow carpet," according to the <a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E0DEFDC163BF935A35753C1A9629C8B63">NY Times</a>. Investigators sifted through the soil "like prospectors panning for gold," said the <a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E00EEDB153AF934A25753C1A9629C8B63">NY Times</a>. Eventually, they discovered what may have been the remains of "two mafia captains" from "the Bonanno crime family" that were buried by "several members of the Gambino family who were close to John Gotti," said the <a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B04E7DB1E3BF930A25753C1A9629C8B63">NY Times</a>.<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6n8Lkzg-U0hyAppSNZHnoRGRvbMNpt7LoLiEbbTpL8P4EbDhDNWQp40_jWEGicK56a-IMNxdz5Ipkz4MmeQY9M6BAkSau7ODx2PQQe2j3j-kdQLsBRYKky_WXL8EEmwwqhb4G27ZT5c4/s1600-h/DSC_3215+small.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373331054509252562" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6n8Lkzg-U0hyAppSNZHnoRGRvbMNpt7LoLiEbbTpL8P4EbDhDNWQp40_jWEGicK56a-IMNxdz5Ipkz4MmeQY9M6BAkSau7ODx2PQQe2j3j-kdQLsBRYKky_WXL8EEmwwqhb4G27ZT5c4/s400/DSC_3215+small.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">"200 Dead Bodies"</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> Development</span></span></div> <br /></div> <div> </div> <div> Other residents of The Hole reminisce about how it was once populated by vast fields of horses. Many belonged to <a href="http://www.federationofblackcowboysnyc.com/">The Federation of Black Cowboys</a>, who hold an annual rodeo nearby. It was "the closest thing New York has to a border town" with "all the characteristics of a frontier town in the Old West.... dusty streets, stray dogs, ramshackle corrugated tin structures and even a few cowboys," according to the <a href="http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9E00EEDB153AF934A25753C1A9629C8B63">NY Times</a>. There are no longer any horses in The Hole. Beginning in 2002, "about 100 horses" were evicted to make way for a new development, according to the <a href="http://www.villagevoice.com/2002-06-04/news/even-cowboys-get-the-blues/">Village Voice</a>. Forty horses still live nearby at Cedar Lane Stables, but there is no evidence that the horse-pasture-development ever happened. Instead, an abandoned house sits at the center of The Hole in a huge empty field. As one local said to The Voice, "It's tough being a cowboy in East New York."<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEharMH8dbB0aI8S_8cUUlhAk6PpzecVCNl7dM9K7bySxLfhJ5tm7lhu9_eBy7uPWe0YW6tOfNADJy7KcOrtML2_c40rOFAtlHMwCHnQ_p2RyDCNfEv2Tk6FmB_vedPGCVttZxYRnojiUWc/s1600-h/DSC_3271+small.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372196017958430546" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEharMH8dbB0aI8S_8cUUlhAk6PpzecVCNl7dM9K7bySxLfhJ5tm7lhu9_eBy7uPWe0YW6tOfNADJy7KcOrtML2_c40rOFAtlHMwCHnQ_p2RyDCNfEv2Tk6FmB_vedPGCVttZxYRnojiUWc/s450/DSC_3271+small.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Empty Fields</span></span></div> <br /></div> <div> </div> Today, the neighborhood has been torn apart by failed development schemes.

Construction here stopped in 2007, according to the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/29/nyregion/29journal.html">NY Times</a>, and the remaining mountain of debris has given neighbors below in The Hole "nightmares about avalanches" and a "constant fear of a rockslide."<br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtOzvgF-ptdB9KpC2AxO8-tgRr9QCWzIj5rqOISnrHUQ-nXJ4UAh1ftgAYgwj4kJEBibIP0xn71-6pg-7Nooo5DiijvwcaCTRHXLtkdRevr39ls9jSI58LO7jyWtQO6jSNLb-SYPh4D9k/s1600-h/DSC_3097+small.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372108652373727026" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtOzvgF-ptdB9KpC2AxO8-tgRr9QCWzIj5rqOISnrHUQ-nXJ4UAh1ftgAYgwj4kJEBibIP0xn71-6pg-7Nooo5DiijvwcaCTRHXLtkdRevr39ls9jSI58LO7jyWtQO6jSNLb-SYPh4D9k/s400/DSC_3097+small.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center;" /></a><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Flooded Lot For Sale</span></span></div> <br /> <br /> <div style="text-align: right;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij1tOJTK0v87PI6iKluFFppeHqXAoJPd53U_ga3e1t9EgI9w8lPKt27_pu0kbxajh9XHU3V-T4wHD4Dae-aNqfT7EeNvdlAKBGBPHseFNIvxz6nRY16flmdkEIk5UWD-wKLE-HWxdlWq0/s1600-h/DSC_3417+small.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372194097841455250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij1tOJTK0v87PI6iKluFFppeHqXAoJPd53U_ga3e1t9EgI9w8lPKt27_pu0kbxajh9XHU3V-T4wHD4Dae-aNqfT7EeNvdlAKBGBPHseFNIvxz6nRY16flmdkEIk5UWD-wKLE-HWxdlWq0/s450/DSC_3417+small.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 450px;" /></a><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Western Development</span></span><br /> <br /> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: right;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT_ggnEQmys6GUN5zX9EgiqEJNp0j2kpPlRFeT5-_KqkXF0Mr61ISCiCq3fKQf6KGbbRlO69sIl3QVCA37zmv7pyGPSqWC8S3UJoBYHsUuEj5E4t4nU5kMO1MOF-e_Za_LhwH75z15mnQ/s1600-h/DSC_3177+small.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5372194965341025106" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT_ggnEQmys6GUN5zX9EgiqEJNp0j2kpPlRFeT5-_KqkXF0Mr61ISCiCq3fKQf6KGbbRlO69sIl3QVCA37zmv7pyGPSqWC8S3UJoBYHsUuEj5E4t4nU5kMO1MOF-e_Za_LhwH75z15mnQ/s450/DSC_3177+small.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 450px;" /></a><span style="font-size: 85%;"><span style="font-style: italic;">"Cobblestone Estates"</span></span></div> <br /> Although the future of The Hole is uncertain, it still stands - like <a href="http://kensinger.blogspot.com/2008/12/iron-triangle.html">The Iron Triangle</a>  and <a href="http://kensinger.blogspot.com/2010/09/south-edgemere-wasteland.html" target="_blank">Edgemere</a> - as one of the most unique neighborhoods in New York City. <a href="http://www.satanslaundromat.com/sl/archives/000524.html">Satan's Laundromat</a> once enthusiastically called this area "the most obscure neighborhood in New York" and according to a 2005 article on the area in <a href="http://forgotten-ny.com/2005/07/eldert-lane-brooklyn-queens-line/" target="_blank">Forgotten New York</a>, "this is the true New York, this is NYC with pretense and artifice stripped away."<br /> <br /> These photos were taken in collaboration with Nate Dorr of <a href="http://www.imposemagazine.com/photos/in-the-hole">Impose Magazine</a>, who says of The Hole "few spots in the five boroughs... feel further from the crowds and activity of Manhattan."<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size: 85%; font-style: italic;">---</span><br /> <span style="font-style: italic;">Since the publication of this original photo essay in 2009, which established the history, borders, and proper name of The Hole, many other articles have featured the research, writing and photos included in this work.

We used to know this area as "Cedar Lane" as kids. I even called it "Tobacco Road" once. It was always scary and alluring at the same time....used to walk along Spring Creek all the way from the Belt Pkwy overpass to just before the fence of the old NY Sanit Dep't incinerator and then up the "streets" of Cedar Lane (the Hole). Never stumbled over any decomposing bodies, but did get stuck in swamp ooze quite often. I'm sure it will eventually all be filled in and developed and connected to the Spring Creek tract on the west and Lindenwood on the east. All photogs should get over there and document this last bit of "true NY" before it's gone!</p><span class="comment-actions secondary-text"><a class="comment-reply" target="_self" data-comment-id="8453587664964098144">Reply</a><span class="item-control blog-admin blog-admin pid-321877520"><a target="_self" href="https://draft.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=5838188789058326203&postID=8453587664964098144">Delete</a></span></span></div><div class="comment-replies"><div id="c8453587664964098144-rt" class="comment-thread inline-thread"><span class="thread-toggle thread-expanded"><span class="thread-arrow"></span><span class="thread-count"><a target="_self">Replies</a></span></span><ol id="c8453587664964098144-ra" class="thread-chrome thread-expanded"><div><li class="comment" id="c8964538852770284811"><div class="avatar-image-container"><img src="//resources.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif" alt=""/></div><div class="comment-block"><div class="comment-header"><cite class="user">Anonymous</cite><span class="icon user "></span><span class="datetime secondary-text"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://kensinger.blogspot.com/2009/08/hole.html?showComment=1388620243531#c8964538852770284811">January 1, 2014 at 6:50 PM</a></span></div><p class="comment-content">More than 50 years ago,we called the back of the Lindenwood,Queens area,west of 79th Street,Cedar Lane.All or most of The Hole is on the Brooklyn side of what we once referred to as"Shit Creek".I think ceratain parts of The Hole are actually part of Queens,but the location is right on the border of Brooklyn and Queens."Shit Creek"has long since been paved over.It was a disgusting smelling,polluted,narrow mess,but good for escaping from people,including cops when we'd commit teenage hi-jinks in the early 1960s.That's because it was so disgusting,they'd rather let us get away then have to go back there themselves.Later on,we'd have to wash the shitty mud off our sneakers down one of the Lindenwood washrooms in a sink.Almost all of Cedar lane has been developed,and I think there might still be one old house left.When we'd take schoolbus home to Lindenwood in1961 and thereabouts,when the driver got to 79th Street and 155th Avenue,he'd call out,"Cedar Lane."Long gone.</p><span class="comment-actions secondary-text"><span class="item-control blog-admin blog-admin pid-321877520"><a target="_self" href="https://draft.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=5838188789058326203&postID=8964538852770284811">Delete</a></span></span></div><div class="comment-replies"><div id="c8964538852770284811-rt" class="comment-thread inline-thread hidden"><span class="thread-toggle thread-expanded"><span class="thread-arrow"></span><span class="thread-count"><a target="_self">Replies</a></span></span><ol id="c8964538852770284811-ra" class="thread-chrome thread-expanded"><div></div><div id="c8964538852770284811-continue" class="continue"><a class="comment-reply" target="_self" data-comment-id="8964538852770284811">Reply</a></div></ol></div></div><div class="comment-replybox-single" id="c8964538852770284811-ce"></div></li><li class="comment" id="c573320917762753894"><div class="avatar-image-container"><img src="//www.blogger.com/img/blogger_logo_round_35.png" alt=""/></div><div class="comment-block"><div class="comment-header"><cite class="user"><a href="https://draft.blogger.com/profile/16822129966636142220" rel="nofollow">Unknown</a></cite><span class="icon user "></span><span class="datetime secondary-text"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://kensinger.blogspot.com/2009/08/hole.html?showComment=1403733300114#c573320917762753894">June 25, 2014 at 5:55 PM</a></span></div><p class="comment-content">Sorry, I think you are mistaken.

It was a great place to grow up. </p><span class="comment-actions secondary-text"><span class="item-control blog-admin blog-admin pid-1202428579"><a target="_self" href="https://draft.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=5838188789058326203&postID=6925362107407214207">Delete</a></span></span></div><div class="comment-replies"><div id="c6925362107407214207-rt" class="comment-thread inline-thread hidden"><span class="thread-toggle thread-expanded"><span class="thread-arrow"></span><span class="thread-count"><a target="_self">Replies</a></span></span><ol id="c6925362107407214207-ra" class="thread-chrome thread-expanded"><div></div><div id="c6925362107407214207-continue" class="continue"><a class="comment-reply" target="_self" data-comment-id="6925362107407214207">Reply</a></div></ol></div></div><div class="comment-replybox-single" id="c6925362107407214207-ce"></div></li><li class="comment" id="c8114891906266020709"><div class="avatar-image-container"><img src="//www.blogger.com/img/blogger_logo_round_35.png" alt=""/></div><div class="comment-block"><div class="comment-header"><cite class="user"><a href="https://draft.blogger.com/profile/16822129966636142220" rel="nofollow">Unknown</a></cite><span class="icon user "></span><span class="datetime secondary-text"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://kensinger.blogspot.com/2009/08/hole.html?showComment=1403733416682#c8114891906266020709">June 25, 2014 at 5:56 PM</a></span></div><p class="comment-content">This comment has been removed by the author.</p><span class="comment-actions secondary-text"><span class="item-control blog-admin blog-admin "><a target="_self" href="https://draft.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=5838188789058326203&postID=8114891906266020709">Delete</a></span></span></div><div class="comment-replies"><div id="c8114891906266020709-rt" class="comment-thread inline-thread hidden"><span class="thread-toggle thread-expanded"><span class="thread-arrow"></span><span class="thread-count"><a target="_self">Replies</a></span></span><ol id="c8114891906266020709-ra" class="thread-chrome thread-expanded"><div></div><div id="c8114891906266020709-continue" class="continue"><a class="comment-reply" target="_self" data-comment-id="8114891906266020709">Reply</a></div></ol></div></div><div class="comment-replybox-single" id="c8114891906266020709-ce"></div></li></div><div id="c8453587664964098144-continue" class="continue"><a class="comment-reply" target="_self" data-comment-id="8453587664964098144">Reply</a></div></ol></div></div><div class="comment-replybox-single" id="c8453587664964098144-ce"></div></li><li class="comment" id="c7362414204777372135"><div class="avatar-image-container"><img src="//resources.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif" alt=""/></div><div class="comment-block"><div class="comment-header"><cite class="user">Anonymous</cite><span class="icon user "></span><span class="datetime secondary-text"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://kensinger.blogspot.com/2009/08/hole.html?showComment=1307662331854#c7362414204777372135">June 9, 2011 at 7:32 PM</a></span></div><p class="comment-content">Thanks for the memories of the Hole.

Back then it was strictly an Italian Neighborhood..maybe a few Irish and Germans also. Everyone took care of their homes and took pride in the community. It was like living in the country in the city..great place to grow up..flowers everywhere..dirt roads for bike rides..stickball games in the street, etc. However, as the surrounding neighborhoods became somewhat harzardous to your health alot of good people were forced to move and sell their homes. The Black Cowboys didn't live there until maybe the mid 1980s...they were quiet law abiding citizens as well. Unfortunately, the hole now has neighbors that play loud music at all hours of the night ...they have so called rent parties ..that the NYC cops do nothing about when called to report the distubance...perhaps they are afraid of these characters too. I still know a few good people that live down the hole and wonder if Nathan asked permission to take pictures of their homes and publish them. I would think if he didn't get permission..which I know he didn't ..perhaps he could find a way to provide assistance to help these individuals instead of exploiting them by posting pictures of their homes on the internet.</p><span class="comment-actions secondary-text"><a class="comment-reply" target="_self" data-comment-id="7258273350566248214">Reply</a><span class="item-control blog-admin blog-admin pid-321877520"><a target="_self" href="https://draft.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=5838188789058326203&postID=7258273350566248214">Delete</a></span></span></div><div class="comment-replies"><div id="c7258273350566248214-rt" class="comment-thread inline-thread"><span class="thread-toggle thread-expanded"><span class="thread-arrow"></span><span class="thread-count"><a target="_self">Replies</a></span></span><ol id="c7258273350566248214-ra" class="thread-chrome thread-expanded"><div><li class="comment" id="c2392551695228387473"><div class="avatar-image-container"><img src="//resources.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif" alt=""/></div><div class="comment-block"><div class="comment-header"><cite class="user">Anonymous</cite><span class="icon user "></span><span class="datetime secondary-text"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://kensinger.blogspot.com/2009/08/hole.html?showComment=1348676105467#c2392551695228387473">September 26, 2012 at 12:15 PM</a></span></div><p class="comment-content">you can take pictures of pretty much any building you want to from a public street/sidewalk. only the odd "secret" govt building has such restrictions.</p><span class="comment-actions secondary-text"><span class="item-control blog-admin blog-admin pid-321877520"><a target="_self" href="https://draft.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=5838188789058326203&postID=2392551695228387473">Delete</a></span></span></div><div class="comment-replies"><div id="c2392551695228387473-rt" class="comment-thread inline-thread hidden"><span class="thread-toggle thread-expanded"><span class="thread-arrow"></span><span class="thread-count"><a target="_self">Replies</a></span></span><ol id="c2392551695228387473-ra" class="thread-chrome thread-expanded"><div></div><div id="c2392551695228387473-continue" class="continue"><a class="comment-reply" target="_self" data-comment-id="2392551695228387473">Reply</a></div></ol></div></div><div class="comment-replybox-single" id="c2392551695228387473-ce"></div></li><li class="comment" id="c8602532835679565296"><div class="avatar-image-container"><img src="//resources.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif" alt=""/></div><div class="comment-block"><div class="comment-header"><cite class="user">Anonymous</cite><span class="icon user "></span><span class="datetime secondary-text"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://kensinger.blogspot.com/2009/08/hole.html?showComment=1371767231050#c8602532835679565296">June 20, 2013 at 6:27 PM</a></span></div><p class="comment-content">how is he exploiting them its an abandoned town? even if people still live there they don't have any legal right to live there so essentially they are the ones exploiting free rent</p><span class="comment-actions secondary-text"><span class="item-control blog-admin blog-admin pid-321877520"><a target="_self" href="https://draft.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=5838188789058326203&postID=8602532835679565296">Delete</a></span></span></div><div class="comment-replies"><div id="c8602532835679565296-rt" class="comment-thread inline-thread hidden"><span class="thread-toggle thread-expanded"><span class="thread-arrow"></span><span class="thread-count"><a target="_self">Replies</a></span></span><ol id="c8602532835679565296-ra" class="thread-chrome thread-expanded"><div></div><div id="c8602532835679565296-continue" class="continue"><a class="comment-reply" target="_self" data-comment-id="8602532835679565296">Reply</a></div></ol></div></div><div class="comment-replybox-single" id="c8602532835679565296-ce"></div></li><li class="comment" id="c1573826540366848306"><div class="avatar-image-container"><img src="//resources.blogblog.com/img/blank.gif" alt=""/></div><div class="comment-block"><div class="comment-header"><cite class="user">Anonymous</cite><span class="icon user "></span><span class="datetime secondary-text"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://kensinger.blogspot.com/2009/08/hole.html?showComment=1403732375528#c1573826540366848306">June 25, 2014 at 5:39 PM</a></span></div><p class="comment-content"> I lived there from 1959 to about 1973.

Mainly Italians inhabited the area, amongst a few others, with well kept tomatoe gardens, grape vines, fig trees, and other vegetable\fruits and plants. It was a friendly welcoming place. The people were not rich in wealth, but rather in pride and morals. Cannot say much of who took the area over. Thanks to the "pink houses", that was a NAIL IN THE COFFIN for the whole area. Here's hoping for a turn around!

Families started moving out when the water tables rose and homes were getting flooded every time it rained. </p><span class="comment-actions secondary-text"><a class="comment-reply" target="_self" data-comment-id="5178758157200791193">Reply</a><span class="item-control blog-admin blog-admin pid-321877520"><a target="_self" href="https://draft.blogger.com/delete-comment.g?blogID=5838188789058326203&postID=5178758157200791193">Delete</a></span></span></div><div class="comment-replies"><div id="c5178758157200791193-rt" class="comment-thread inline-thread"><span class="thread-toggle thread-expanded"><span class="thread-arrow"></span><span class="thread-count"><a target="_self">Replies</a></span></span><ol id="c5178758157200791193-ra" class="thread-chrome thread-expanded"><div><li class="comment" id="c4127281214322906250"><div class="avatar-image-container"><img src="//www.blogger.com/img/blogger_logo_round_35.png" alt=""/></div><div class="comment-block"><div class="comment-header"><cite class="user"><a href="https://draft.blogger.com/profile/16822129966636142220" rel="nofollow">Unknown</a></cite><span class="icon user "></span><span class="datetime secondary-text"><a rel="nofollow" href="http://kensinger.blogspot.com/2009/08/hole.html?showComment=1403733004196#c4127281214322906250">June 25, 2014 at 5:50 PM</a></span></div><p class="comment-content">I remember Pete and Josie and the mother.
