Henrico Citizen newspaper Managing Editor Patty Kruszewski has a nice opinion piece in the latest issue about a small controversy regarding the use of cemeteries. (Click here to see it as PDF)

In it, she mentions her own’s daughter’s burial place in Hollywood Cemetery.

Quote: “I would never have thought to bring my own children to Hollywood (Cemetery) or to use it as a playground or public spot, but it makes perfect sense. It’s beautiful, it’s public, it’s historic”.

Actually Hollywood Cemetery is still a private business that opens to the public. Kruszewski also rightly brings up the role of the cemetery as a valuable green space. We are very fortunate to live next to it.
