March 3rd, 2020 : A Connecticut Yankee

[xoxoxoBruce]

No not King Arthur's turf, in Hartford CT, which was built at the confluence of the Park(has also been called Little and Hog), and
Connecticut(called the Great early on), rivers. The Park was only 2.3 miles long but ended up right through the middle of town so
a natural trash and garbage disposal system.

In 1925 the Yankee (formerly Dixie) Gas Station on Wells street a couple blocks from the State Capitol, shows where they dumped
used lubricants down the bank.
That'll show them damn weeds.



Starting in 1940 up to the 80’s the Army Corps of Engineers moved the river underground, ostensibly to curb flooding.
Now it’s completely buried you can’t see the nasty things it carries.
