So, it looks like they will dig it up for display. Excellent.

I remember seeing a documentary about the Greek subway system that was put in for the Olympics. They ran into historic relics, like, every two feet.

Manhattan was the scene of sveral great revolutionary war battles, valiently fought by our heros of the revolution. Funny to thing of that area with fences, yards and even fields.

They should number the stones, remove them and reassemble them somewhere on Wall Street (since that street was named for the wall built by the Dutch for protection from the Native Americans).

I recognize that hole. I used to live down there and last year I walked over or around it quite a few times. It's not far from Castle Clinton (no, not THAT clinton, DeWitt Clinton).

Interesting article. Do hope they will save the wall.

Hey there! Thanks for the ping to this interesting story. Right off the bat I noticed something:
See the workman's name, Conover?
Well that is an Americanized version of the old NY Dutch name, Von Cowenhoven, which is one of my family names.
So...that is a very appropriate name to read in connection to this story!!
