Marks has seen many changes in the territory around it. It was thought of as the northern edge of town in 1785. Generations of immigrants worshipped here. peered at the old burial mounds. passed by the church as the area prospered. weathered and later went into decline. Like all the other immigrants. the latest and perhaps the most alien group. the hippies passed by as well. St. Marks Place became the focal point for the flower children. the dropouts. the freaks. many of whom thought by escaping to the East Village they too were starting a new life in a new land.
