I grew up in Hillsborough across the street from Ann Van Middlesworth park and we used to sneak into the military depot and fool around. It was only after I graduated high school that I found out that the nation's largest mercury reserve was located there and that the remaining mercury reserves from around the country were being shutdown and the mercury was being relocated to the 'boro. The sad part is that a big part of the property butts up against the baseball fields, the skate park and the lake and there's nothing but a 5' high fence (that always has a hole in it big enough to drive a Cadillac through) separating the two.
