In October
we think of cemeteries. The mother of
all cemeteries around here is Oakland Cemetery on Memorial Drive in
Atlanta. Historically it is an idea place to soak up
some Atlanta History. From one little
hill that offers an excellent view of Atlanta, and is the same spot General
Hood watched the burning of Atlanta by Sherman.
Over the wall, is where James Andrews of Andrews Raiders (Great Locomotive Chase) was hung. Margaret Mitchell is buried there and other
Georgia Nobles.
There are a
lot of activities at Oakland going on this month. Tours, strolling musicians, and even food
trucks.
This video I
made a few years ago but it is probably the same there, time doesn't move on in
a cemetery.
