| - When I worked in Uptown, I used to go here during my lunch time. I'd wander down the street, and find a nice bench in the sun and ponder life. Interesting I know, pondering life in a cemetery... I'm a weirdo. But as far as cemeteries go, this one is very park like with a couple walking paths through it, so maybe I'm not such a weirdo after all. It's right in the middle of the city which I found odd and interesting. You are surrounded by towering sky scrapers, while gazing upon headstones that are barely legible any longer. Maybe I'm on to something with that whole life pondering thing. I remember thinking how small I was in comparison to everything around me, and how peaceful those lunches were.
I'd often times take a book to read and friendly passer byers would nod at me, while their dogs would sniff my shoe. I'd squint up at them and smile, or give their dog a little pat on the head before they were gone.
The trees over head would provide a great shade on those days of extreme heat, and it created a beautiful canopy for photos in this magical place. I miss this place and if you are close enough to take advantage of it's beauty, I hope you do.
Many days I left with a calm that I can't explain. It's unique, and beautiful.
