Whalehead King reports that when Dot. Ave. was repaved recently, some wiseass planted a nickle in the still soft asphalt at the intersection with Crescent Avenue and East Cottage Street. And now:

... Pedestrians spot the shiny nickel and try to pick it up, unable to gain any traction, all the while looking southward and trying to gauge the speed of oncoming automobiles. For the teenagers and layabouts who frequent this intersection, this is the best entertainment since reality television was invented. No tickets are sold. This show is free of charge. It is best to be there at rush hour when traffic is at its most congested, drivers are at their least tolerant and pedestrians, tired after a long day at work, are walking with their heads bent down looking for a bit of luck. ..
