Local Trivia: SOME parks have MURALS on the walls around them...not ours.

Across from the Waterbury, CT train station is a brick wall around a park. The wall was built to incorporate some of the old tombstones that presumably were there before the wall was -- such that they're half-buried so that the fronts are visible and all are contained in the plane of the wall. Some of the stones are broken in half, thirds or pieces, and in those cases, the pieces are bricked into the wall in the approximate positions they would be in if still whole.

The effect is strange and seems almost manipulative, as though we're using the dead (still) to sell something. ("These people all love this park!")

But it's probably appropriate for a city that is also home to Holy Land, USA.
