Vidalia Park

I left out the destination of the S S City of Atlanta, it used to be docked on the westside of Manhattan around Pier 23 (?) and used to travel between Savannah, Georgia and New York City. My Mom said her Uncle Leman used to bring up the Vidalia onions from Georgia, when they came in the spring, the sweetest onion, you could almost eat them like apples. They grow only in a few counties in the state of Georgia. I was working on 180th Street here in the Bronx, near the Bronx Zoo and the Bronx River, archaeological monitoring with a friend, the new fence replacement that went in at the "Old Soldiers Cemetery" (veterans of four wars, 1812, Civil War, Spanish-American, WWI in it and a Civil War statue) and they were making a new park nearby. It is called Vidalia Park! Very strange... Al Pacino grew up about six blocks from there. The bridge across the river had been out for rehab. for months. I called in when I heard on the TV that any sightings of dead birds (alas, two in the locked-up Old Soldiers Cemetery, the raven nevermore...) as the Health Dept. was asking for input about sightings in regard to the West Nile virus back then. Two artillery pieces I found out from their absence at Fort Schuyler were once there too (a small faded sign said they had been from there, the Old Soldiers Cemetery). I wonder where they went?
