Our history in trash

50 YEARS OF LANDFILL AT THE FRESH KILLS

Beneath today's burnt-out computer chips and Burger King wrappers, lie the discards of the polyester seventies, the tie-dyed sixties, the chrome-bumper fifties, great-grandma's old Victrola and public school fountain pens. NY's history buried in chronological order, along with wallets, a million dollars in loose change, flushed wedding rings, and effects too voluminous to comprehend. If extra-terrestrials really want to learn about the human race, this is the place to come.
