The one in New York. It has a very interesting history.

The link doesn't work as a hyperlink because it was broken up for some reason. If you highlight and paste it then it will take you straight there.

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.--Yeats

Hmmm...seems like a good place for a mob "resting" place.

I thought Hoffa was a support post in some stadium!

Hey thanks for that link critter! I had never heard of Hart Island, and was surprised, because I thought I knew a good deal of NYC history. After reading the link, I realize that it is what I used to call Potter's Field. Really interesting, especially the bits about burials being performed by Rikers Island prison inmates, and the burial of the novelist Dawn Powell. Makes me want to do more research.

If you like the Hart Island story you may be interested in Centralia, PA. This was another place I was obsessed with for a while. It was the real life inspiration for Silent Hill.

I thought it looked familiar from the end of "Don't say a word", but wiki says the sequence set on Hart Island was filmed in Canada...
