On
Monday, January 6, 1992, in spite of massive community protests and
powerful political pressure, ground was broken on the new extension to the
Interborough Rapid Transit line into Sheepshead Bay. Seven
miles, nine new stations, at an estimated cost of fifty thousand dollars
per foot. It was the Hole To Nowhere. Another project in a city of
projects. Everybody got juiced in— the teamsters, the transit cops, the
EPA, county commissioners, city planners— you name it. It was a baptismal for count splits and vig, which would miraculously lose their sins somewhere in the projects' tens of thousands of financial ledgers. It was the Holy of Holies and, screw those Sheepshead yokels, people got very dead if they tried to stop it. by James Fry and Andrew Pepoy CLICK IMAGE TO CONTINUE CONCRETE JUNGLE
