Seems like less graves, more spaced out. Perhaps it is only because it is no longer under the bridgeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-636068312591857663.post-65059448234752554792016-02-03T20:05:56.121-05:002016-02-03T20:05:56.121-05:00I grew up in Forest Hills and Went to Parkman Scho...I grew up in Forest Hills and Went to Parkman School during 1960/70s. There was a a wooden bridge,, Tollgate Bridge, we would use to go across the tracks, or sometimes we would just cut across the tracks a little way up. <br /><br />The cemetery was tucked away under the stairs and bridge, forgotten by most. But not everyone. One of our teachers brought a group of us there to teach us how to do grave rubbings ( which we didn't know were bad for the grave back then). <br /><br />I loved that little cemetery when I was a child, unfortunately I stopped going there after a classmate was found slumped by a stone there, she overdosed on heroin.<br /><br />But,although I moved from that area 39 years ago, I have never forgotten that little cemetery<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
