A short and spooky tale of infatuation

ruptured hopes

Monday – photo by Mitch Waxman November 9th, a humble narrator was once behind the wheel of the car, and after running a few move related errands, I had a couple of hours to kill. There’s a whole outer ring of seldom visited Newtown Creek views which are now in reach. While pulling into Mount Olivette Cemetery in Maspeth, a chance meeting occurred and I ran into an old friend – Tony Nunziato.…

Calvary Cemetery & Mausoleum, 4201 Whittier Blvd, Los Angeles (East LA), CA 90023

Calvary Cemetery is a Catholic cemetery in East LA  that was founded in 1896. It looks similar to Evergreen Cemetery but slightly better maintained. There are a few mausoleums. The main mausoleum has four levels, a chapel, stained glass windows; it’s beautiful.

The landscape is mostly flat with a road that winds around the cemetery. There are a few large crypts and lots of statues of angels, crosses, and other Catholic figures. I noticed some of the headstones that looked like they used to be upright were placed in the ground. The grass is very dry and there are a variety of trees (but little shade). The cemetery is surrounded by houses.

Famous inhabitants include Lionel Barrymore, Jelly Roll Morton, Lou Costello, and Irene Dunne. Most of the inhabitants are Latino/Chicano.  

3 out of 5 stars.

@revretch and I were driving home and from the road we could see the largest most complete fairy ring I have ever seen in all my life, even from other people's photos!!

If you're in Portland Oregon, go see it at Mt. Calvary Cemetery, on a hill at the fork of West Burnside & NW Skyline Blvd before it's gone!

I don't think you're supposed to walk up that hill but if you don't anyway don't forget how important it is to step inside, otherwise no fairies will get you at all!!

Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore served as a musician and stretcher-bearer in the 24th Massachusetts Infantry during the American Civil War. His incredible post-army musical career includes penning “When Johnny Comes Marching Home”, the tune he took from an old Irish antiwar folk song, “Johnny I Hardly Knew Ye”, that was published under the name Louis Lambert. He performed some of the biggest musical…
