Memphis Cemeteries

Some of you will remember the shots I posted a while back of Hollywood Cemetery in Memphis, when we were looking for Furry Lewis' grave. Check out this photo set Tuffy P found on Flickr. There are shots from a number of Memphis Cemeteries here, including some graves we saw at Hollywood, such as the one with the pipe cross.

It turns out that the Hollywood Cemetery was flooded by a nearby creek at some point, and for a while was largely underwater.

If I lived in Memphis, I would eat way too much BBQ! I like your town though. Compared to Nashville down the road, Memphis is way, way more interesting.
