Hey!

In 1996 I went to borough hall. There I witnessed a press conference that signaled the end of New York City dumping all of its garbage in the Staten Island Dump, effective 1999. It was a grand occassion, with well over fifteen people in the room. And now this?!

It's actually no big deal. Though if you read all the way through, you will see that there is a plan to turn the visible-from-space pile of garbage into "a sprawling recreation area for noxious-fume golf, mountains of garbage biking and even mutant-horse riding." I have re-imagined this sentence a bit.

This has been your daily Staten Island update! (I promise I won't post about Staten Island for the next three months).
