Con­struc­tion Update

Fur­ther con­struc­tion on the water pipes project on Gov­er­nors Island ran into some unex­pect­ed prob­lems this morn­ing. An exca­va­tor acci­den­tal­ly uncov­ered a col­lec­tion of graves pro­tect­ed by black mag­ic. [cap­tion id=“attachment_7564” align=“alignnone” width=“224”] Uncovered zombie nest. Uncov­ered zom­bie nest.[/caption] The zom­bie hoard, final­ly released from their end­less sleep, wreaked hav­oc in the 30 acres of new West 8 designed park. After a few hours of brain feast­ing the zom­bie crowd how­ev­er began to relax and could be seen jok­ing togeth­er on the parade ground and nap­ping in the ham­mocks in Ham­mock Grove.
