remember that dream I had where lyrangalia was driving badly and wouldn't stop for the really creepy cool cemetery which looked a lot like a cemetery I've had many dreams about?

Well I was leafing through the sunday Columbus Dispatch while talking to mom and they had a creepy travels cemetery walk article and I started yelling into the phone, it's it! I found it! and I did. It's the cemtery
from my dreams. No lie the middle and right hand picture have been in my dreams for years.


It's crown hill cemetery and it's in Indianapolis so I'm thinking screw going to IN to see evil_little_dog for thanksgiving. Let's go for spring break and go up to Indy. I think I HAVE to go. I might just be buried in there and I need to find myself

The first time I went to Boot Hill (when I was a little girl), the cemetery hadn't been "restored" and most of the original markers were still in place. It's a shame they couldn't have done more toward keeping the original look and feel, but it is a very old cemetery, and wasn't much more than a place outside of town to plant bodies; although the Jewish section does have some nice permanent stones.

I'll see about digging them out and scanning them. No digital "back then" (about nine years ago, now -- yi!).

the new Boot Hill markers DO manage to look old but just knowing people stole the others sort of ruins it.

yeah I know what you mean about the pictures...

Well, the famous ones, anyway; most common markers were replaced with simple metal crosses bearing a name and date.

really? Maybe they redid them since I was there in '92

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

Yeah, definitely. We were there in I think '02 or '03. I have to find those pictures now, too...

now i'm just sitting here mystified that it could have been THAT long ago I was stationed in Tucson.

and oddly it's the same year of the Star Trek TNG that's currently on CW

Amazing how it flew by, eh?

i swear it was just last year I was in Tucson

[wildrider.livejournal.com]

I know. I'm sometimes surprised to realize that I've lived in Phoenix longer than I ever lived in Tucson...
