Edwin Gardiner Jr Last night after leaving the game after 8PM the firemen and an ambulance showed up looking around for a way to get down. But I was driving off already so I did not hang around but that was on Myrtle Ave. side of Victory Field.

Edwin Gardiner Jr Guess they did not realize the other bridge. So I guess that body was there for a day at least.
Forest Park has changed for the worst. As this neighborhood as well.
