Beautiful Disaster

July 12, 2008

We decided to walk through Oakland Cemetery today just to look at all of the beautiful monuments that are there. As some of you may know, downtown Atlanta was hit by a powerful tornado back in March and unfortunately Oakland was in the path of destruction. Crews are still working hard to clean up all of the debris (mostly from the trees) but we did occasionally come across a monument or marker that fell victim to the tornado.

Some of the famous Atlantans buried in Oakland are Margaret Mitchell and Bobby Jones and there are thousands of Confederate soldiers buried there.
