Rifle Fire In Hollywood Cemetery Tomorrow

Hollywood Cemetery has a ceremony planned for tomorrow at 10:00 am and there will be rifle fire. The cemetery office apologizes for the late notice, the ceremony holders did not realize they should supply advance notice.

In other news, complaints from neighbors are mounting in regard to the now DAILY cannon fire from the American Civil War Museum at Tredegar. It’s being shot off around 2:20 pm every day “for tourism”, while disturbing residents and their pets. Some who are closer to Tredegar are becoming concerned about the noise actually shaking and damaging their walls and property.
