The inscription tells us that many residents of Muddy York once buried in Potter's Field were moved to Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Potter's Field was a six acre plot in Yorkville purchased in 1825 for about $300. This area is now the location of high end shops and restaurants with condominiums selling for many millions of dollars.

I haven't been to Yorkville in a while. It's a fun area to tour.
I've enjoyed (and appreciated!) the yellow series!
