Another Forgotten Cemetery


There is something tasteful about taking pictures in cemeteries The residents don’t get that much company, and probably appreciate the attention. Nobody has to stand still to pose. The stonecutters of generations gone by have not chiseled their letters for nothing. .
The other day, PG went for his afternoon walk. Finding a neighborhood destination that he has not seen a thousand times already is a chore. He walked down Dresden, behind the Plaza Fiesta, and briefly…very briefly…considered walking around PDK and coming back home on New Peachtree. This might not be as outlandish as it seems, and might make an athletic outing sometime. .
This day, PG went to a little Asian shopping center. It is on the site of the original El Toro restaurant, and a rather tacky motel. The sign said there were spaces for rent in the back, and PG went in back to look at them. When he got there, he saw a cemetery.
.
There is a little white church on Dresden Drive. It is used by a hispanic congregation now, with the words ” Jesu Christo es el Senor” painted on the front. PG has driven by this building several thousand times, and never thought that there was a cemetery in the back. .
The graveyard is well maintained. The airport is directly behind it, so the views are not that great. The deceased seemed to rest in peace, if you don’t consider the noise from the jets.
