Fixing a Hole

Interesting tidbit on this day in Brooklyn history:

"One of the big gripes in Brooklyn in 1914 was that the dirt and rocks excavated in the subway construction that year was taken to Governors Island, where it was used to enlarge the island’s grounds, when it could have better been used in Brooklyn to level off areas of the city that were too hilly."
