    2. Kudos to the Brooklyn Diggers. This was an excellent event full of fascinating information about Greenpoint and life in the 19th century. I hope there will be more. BTW the horse manure smell box wasn’t nearly pungent enough!!

    3. What I would like to see is a cooperative event between the “Diggers” and the wonderful folks behind the Monitor Museum!
