"THEY WALK AMONG US"

They walk among us, and though usually shilling for products, or especially in Times Square, photo op tips, they are all part of the enormous cast of characters that make

A New York City dump for over a hundred years, the vestiges of our culture 

are scattered about in an abundance rarely seen in an era of carefully manicured public 

landfills.
