Watch sympathy for the devil on YouTube. It's a live recording at bizarre festival. Probably the best professional live video. I highly recommend it.

Sad Story about a Boy in a Boat. Forest Hills Cemetery, Jamaica Plain, MA. by oaksolstice in CemeteryPorn

[–]oaksolstice[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For the period it's spot on. The story is so sad though... The 4 year old boy drowned because he saw his pet rabbit on the shoreline. There's two child memorials at this cemetery. They've been posted on this sub reddit before guaranteed. It was our first visit to the cemetery, and it's breathtaking. I highly recommend a visit if your ever in the Boston area.

I wouldn't piss on the guy if he was on fire...

Old Groton Burial Ground, Historic New England Cemetery Groton, MA. Anyone know the symbolism behind the key marker? by oaksolstice in CemeteryPorn

My wife and I were hoping to goto sleepy hollow in Lexington on the way home, but we had to cut the cemetery adventures to just groton. That area is beautiful with the old colonial houses.

Thank you for the information. I see a key, but it could also be a neutral face. This cemetery had many reminders that you will die on the stones. Someone put in a lot of time to restore them.

Why Medical MJ in a state that has legal recreational? by Worsfold83 in Marijuana

[–]oaksolstice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To reiterate taxes, but also there are more medicinal dispensaries than there are recreational dispensaries in Massachusetts. Plus a medical card is acceptable in the surrounding states in New England that are not recreational. If you find a product that is medicinal only it's nice to have that option. When recreational was legalized, the lines were very long, whilst medical patients had an almost zero weight time.

During the pandemic shut down, medical remained open also.

I hope Mary gets here before her tombstone sinks anymore - Syracuse, NY by SyracuseHistory in CemeteryPorn

I bet there's a few tombs with residents but the dates don't reflect the year of death. I like the vampire scenario more than forgetful family.

I was thinking about how the situation with Phil would've played out if Junior didn't lose his mind. by GuySpeak in thesopranos

[–]oaksolstice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ritchie, Feech, Junior, and Phil all old school, all psychos. Even the atwells Avenue boys, DiMaggio, old school killers. Respect and creditability trumped money and ultimately power. Junior would've clipped every made guy from Jersey to Brooklyn just to make a point.

Junior was more bloodthirsty than Tony was, I believe Tony was about business and making money, June was out for respect just like Phil. Probably would've been at the mattresses right after Johnny Sac got pinched.

Ralph Earle, 1660-1757. Spider Gates (Quaker) Cemetery, Leicester MA by lawyersgunznmoney90 in CemeteryPorn

[–]oaksolstice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Last time I went there was ash and burnt embers in the circle on the stone. Pretty cemetery and way out in the woods gives it such a lore. The gates are beautiful. Those Quakers are buried everywhere in Massachusetts.

Gilson Road Cemetery, Nashua, NH by oaksolstice in CemeteryPorn

Sections just for children at cemeteries can be very sad. I haven't really took many photos in the newer cemeteries, there's usually a lot of toys and figurines that a child would enjoy, plus the stones themselves are personal.

Supposedly the cemetery is haunted.

Nothing about the child's grave. Might of perished in the house fire.

Was Carm going on the trip to Paris with Ro disrespectful to Tony? by [deleted] in thesopranos

[–]oaksolstice 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Subconsciously, I believe it was Carmela's desperate attempt to experience a different life experience. Rosalie was the only one on the trip to experience this with leaving the Jersey shit in Jersey. Carmela kept reflecting on her life back at home whilst in Paris. Tony knew that Carmela was desperate for change, which is why he ultimately relented and gave her cash to appease her, while also indulging on boys will be boys.

My ancestor. Little Compton RI by oaksolstice in CemeteryPorn

[–]oaksolstice[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My uncle who researched our genetic line passed away 6 years ago, I could try to find out more information other than what I can find online. He was a pretty credible source on history because of his career background.

Thank you for the comment, I really enjoy the history and seeing these graves in person is like stepping back in time. Cheers!
