When a city grows too fast, it runs out of room in its cemeteries. That’s why New York City built Greenwood Cemetery in the 1830s. Today, it has 580,000 permanent “residents”, with some pretty fascinating stories. This is Pin Point, the series where Vox producer Nate Krieger throws a dart at a map and investigates the surprising history of whatever address he hits. In this episode, he uncovers the stories of a ship captain, a tourist with bad luck, and the owner of a rabid cow.
