I'd actually asked this question alongside a few others in a different thread, and discussion sort of got sidetracked with the answers to my other queries, so I thought I'd start a new thread solely dedicated to this question.
I'm a writer who's had a few short stories and several
non-fiction pieces published in a variety of magazines. Growing up in the rural South, I've generally used settings I'm familiar with for my writing, but I've always been fascinated with the culture around New York's 42nd Street and have always wanted to set something there. Historical accuracy is very important to me, and I was hoping that I could get some input from New Yorkers in order to help maintain credibility-- any writing I do will be worthless to me if it's not believable to people from the environment I'm writing about or if it doesn't stand up to historical scrutiny.[LEFT]
I need as much information as I can get on the daily operations of Fresh Kills Landfill. Who, specifically, was in charge? What did the management hierarchy look like? I've read in several places about the supposed presence of packs of feral dogs-- some sources treat it as fact, others indicate that it was an urban legend. What's the truth?
Any and all information would be greatly appreciated
