Forgotten NY in NY Times
Kevin Walsh and his Forgotten New York Web site make it into the pages of the New York Times today.

A group of 25 hard-core New York history buffs gathered early yesterday afternoon on a gusty corner in South Jamaica, Queens, provoking curious glances from passers-by. They were there in anticipation of a rare glimpse of one of the city's most legendary and seldom-seen landmarks: Prospect Cemetery. Established in 1668, it now sits decayed behind locked gates just south of the Long Island Rail Road tracks, unknown to all but a small group of the city's historically minded cognoscenti.

Their leader was Kevin Walsh, a man with unkempt graying hair and blue-tinted wire frame glasses who runs a Web site called Forgotten New York (forgotten-ny.com) and has become a kind of cult figure among those who take local lore seriously.
