Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

The Fosbury Flop was several years in the future

If its Newtown Field it is the old town burial ground.
Bodies are under there.

there are bodies buried everywhere
