I love visiting old cemetaries. Its fun making up stories about the people buried there. Like this person was having an affair with that person.
The Oakland cemetary in Atlanta was fun. It is run down, but they are slowing restoring it. Margaret Mitchell is buried there, but I was more intrigued by the other stuff: the huge crypts, the twin six-foot-tall urns, the civil war section. Unfortunately, I didn't discover the Jewish section until I was on my way out. I was intrigued by how close all of the graves were together. There was virtually no room between them - almost as if they were stacked up in there.
