If you check my Flickr site, you'll see other monuments that piqued my interest.Please leave me an email or web address for yourself that I may include in my side bar for Seattle visitors who might like to book you for a tour! <BR/><BR/>Geologychick, thank YOU. :-)<BR/><BR/>Ande, Yes, it is. If you look back in the SDP archives you'll see a photo of Bruce's monument I took some time ago. That cemetery is fascinating. And if we pick up the guide Greg suggests, a wealth of info on a lot of other notables is available. I still haven't found "Princess Angelina" there after 4 lookabouts.<BR/>-KimKimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03687351187791689224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23860865.post-31389306861446032192008-01-30T09:18:00.000-08:002008-01-30T09:18:00.000-08:00That is also the same cemetery that houses Bruce L...That is also the same cemetery that houses Bruce Lee and his son.

Well worth the search out. Excerpts can be found in an article in the Seattle Times:<BR/><BR/>http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/news/local/seattle_history/articles/tour.html<BR/><BR/>"...If you do one thing to acquaint yourself with Seattle's history, stroll the winding roadways of Lake View. If you can't take the tour, a cemetery pocket guide is available at MOHAI and other outlets for $12.95. <BR/><BR/>The prostitutes, the "desperate characters" and the pious all mingle among the pages of the book "The Pioneers of Lake View" by Robert L. Ferguson, complete with a map and separate entries for the historic graves. <BR/><BR/>On your way out, don't miss the grave of "Lou Graham," as she was known in 1880s Seattle. She built and operated the brothel at the corner of Third Avenue South and South Washington Street. <BR/><BR/>Next to the madam, you will see the headstone of Ferguson, author of the cemetery guide. <BR/><BR/>His stone reads, "The tour stops here."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23860865.post-67030604137868085222008-01-29T22:18:00.000-08:002008-01-29T22:18:00.000-08:00Kim, nice treatment of what is often difficult and...Kim, nice treatment of what is often difficult and mundane. I like the composition very much. FYI, ping Igor to get him to fix the search link in CDPB so your One a Day blog appears in the city list.<BR/><BR/>ChuckChuck Pefleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886326288618029812noreply@blogger.com
