PARACLES builds!
++++++++
PARTHENON: most perfect building ever?
It was built to honor ATHENA.
13-ton columns -- 46 of 'em!
That's 2 and a half thousand years ago, yo!
ATHENS!!
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The mistake of '98: Brooklyn absorbed into New York City.
Charles Hercules Ebbets, ticket-taker to team owner.
Bought property in Pig Town, and abandoned part of Brooklyn.
His ballpark was the The Great Modern Ballpark in 1913 with 25,000 seats.
Too few! In 1932 he added 7,000 more.
The park was intimate all over. It took up ONE city block.
Luv dem Bums and Clowns and Sym-Phony Band!
