Now, I live on a road with "Jennings" in the name...and guess what we found! The grave of 'Ol Man Jennings (well, as we now call him...His real name is William, but his friends probably called him Bill). ANYWAY, the grave and others are in this random, chain-linked fenced-off area (aka: classy!) in the middle of suburbia. Tucked away, not noticeable. But what a beautiful find:
The grave of the man of the hour! Er, hours past...
A beautiful old tombstone
Another beautiful stone
A close-up of the awesome moss
A stone with polka dotsI'm planning to research the names that were still legible- I'll let ya know if anything interesting comes up.
R.I.P., everybody.

I'm a graveyard junkie, too! One of these days, when you come to visit, I'll take you to my favorite. It's this really obscure place, hidden behind a bunch of high rises in downtown Westwood. You'd NEVER guess it was there. And I call it the Cemetery of Early & Tragic Demise, cuz it's got people like Natalie Wood, Marilyn Monroe and, if I recall correctly, BOTH young female stars from Poltergeist. (Insert Twilight Zone music here.)
