Nothing is forever in New York...

The Times has a piece today about people who have scattered their family members' ashes at Yankee Stadium and Shea Sadium. Given the fate of those ballparks...

When the two stadiums are being razed in the coming months, demolition crews will be working where Reggie and Mookie once played. But the ashes, apparently, will stay where they were scattered. And that means that relatives who believed they were giving their loved ones a resting place have had to accept that in New York, the quintessential tear-down-and-build-again city, nothing is forever.
