Does anyone know anything about Jerry's Pit in Cambridge, Ma? It was a popular swimming place in the 1950's and was seperated by a chain link fence. The other side of the fence was adjacent to W.R. Grace. Does anyone know what was in that water?

Evidently it was a swimming hole before it got contaminated so you are probably safe. It's unclear what it got contaminated with.
"small body of water ("Jerry's Pit") that once was a clay pit for the local nineteenth-century brickmaking industry. Later it became a swimming hole and eventually an industrial site and environmental blemish."
