CITY ISLAND find

by Kevin Walsh

While puttering around in Pelham Cemetery in City Island last May on ForgottenTour #53, we found a human skull. Apropos.

Anything can happen on a ForgottenTour.®. The fun begins in late March.

Well, Hart’s Island is right next door– that’s where unidentified remains are sent, isn’t it?

Sadly, I admit I’m very jealous. All I’ve ever discovered is some old pop tops.

Thanks for the heads up, Mr. Walsh. I couldn’t, for the life of me, remember where I left it. This explains why none of my hats have fit properly as of late.

Sincerely,

I’m incredulous. An opera house with the likes of Leo Gorcey and Huntz Hall nearby, parked on a stoop, cigarette tucked behind one ear, making rude noises when goils walked by?
