ABOUT THE VIDEO

I walk by this park somewhat regularly but never took the time to check out the imposing statue. What I learned was surprising. In the early 1800s this spot was the first neighborhood market. The statue was erected after the market had closed to commemorate the space.

He is a money counter.
