The Vine: October 11, 2013

I came across a brief mention of a NY no-man’s-land, The Hole, on the internet and found it fascinating.
Additional information seems hard to come by. Are you familiar with it? Do you know of a good publication discussing the history?
Thanks for your attention,
Sewerhunter
Dear Hunter,
I found a few useful-looking links here; I’d heard of it before, but have never visited, and now I’d like to read anything more in-depth that the readers come up with. Readers?

A quick google pulled up this — http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/40090/the-hole-new-yorks-sunken-border-town/ — among a bunch of other (fairly similar) things. Apparently there was a documentary on it too: http://courtneysell.com/index2.html
Sounds very interesting!
Whoops…the link to the documentary didn’t work as I expected – when you hit the page, find the (sort-of-hard-to-read) “FILMS” link under the image and then scroll down to “The Hole” …
There are links to a photo essay and a NY Times article off of this page: http://www.brownstoner.com/blog/2009/08/the-hole/. Interesting!
