We will be looking at how the life of a waterway effects the life of those living near it. Thank you so much for creating this piece which is so taylor made for what we are trying to learn.

I only saw the one of Greenwood Cemetery. Am I missing some information about how to access all of them?

I live just a few blocks from Newton Creek and the pollution level in the neighborhood is downright scary. And now there's a new fear of toxic vapors rising up through the ground [http://gothamist.com/2008/12/08/fearing_loss_in_property_values_som.php]. The sad thing is I've lived there for over 6 years and despite plenty of acknowledgement of the problem nothing ever gets done to fix it. This area really should be a superfund site -- perhaps a little federal money could help the situation. A possible follow-up: Cancer or other health data for this area of Greenpoint. Nice piece.
