Ed Ayers tours Hollywood Cemetery for BackStory

in memory

BackStory is a smart history radio show/podcast whose May 2010 show Grave Matters: A History of Death and Mourning includes an Ed Ayers tour of Hollywood Cemetery:

On each show, renowned U.S. historians Ed Ayers, Peter Onuf, and Brian Balogh tear a topic from the headlines and plumb its historical depths. Over the course of the hour, they are joined by fellow historians, people in the news, and callers interested in exploring the roots of what’s going on today. Together, they drill down to colonial times and earlier, revealing the connections (and disconnections) between past and present.

have you seen me?

Via Craig’s List:

Last night my scooter/moped was stolen from infront of my house in Oregon Hill. It is a red scooter that seats two people and is from red streak motors. At the time it was in good condition. It has two small white scratches, one on the front and one on the side. It is also missing a back reflector.
