    Holy shit (no pun intended) I forgot about that. Wasn’t there also vaginal blood virgin Mary or was that something else?

    Was he also mayor when they found the Indian burial grounds under the civic center predating five points, and then did nothing about it?

      I think it was the black family burial grounds under that federal building on court st(?), but you might also be right. There was a lot going on in this big city.

      E: this is what I’m talking about, same thing?

        Yes! That was the burial ground! I went to high school downtown but for some reason we never went northeast of city hall to that side of the plaza. I remember seeing it in person after reading that and feeling like a tourist. Meanwhile I was like 3 blocks from J&R where we used to buy tapes with our lunch money after starving all week
