The site of new public school in Queens became an archeology dig after construction workers discovered fragments left behind by one of America's great artists, Louis Comfort Tiffany.

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

This will cost how much?
And some wonder why it is that after spending over twenty thousand dollars per student per year, that they are still in the lower percentiles...
If the monetary value is high on the glass, why didn't the city sell the glass instead of encasing it in a storage display in an expensively built school?
Any other city would have made a museum out of this and perhaps a workshop in glass - but then it would take away one of the few things the Queens Museum is noted for.
So the kids get to play with discarded scraps and garbage just like the 3rd world.
Mmmmmmmmmmm! Lead tastes good!!!!!
