Inmates clear old cemetery, get history lesson
Inmates in Maryland are being put to work cleaning up the historic Mount Auburn Cemetery in Baltimore, thought to be the oldest cemetery in the city that was open for blacks to be buried there.

Where do we go when we die? This blog explores the places where cemeteries and land use intersect, and examines what urban planners and thinkers, communities and others are doing (and not doing) about cemeteries.
You can find a companion site at Facebook, and I'm tweeting about these subjects at Twitter, at @TaphoFiles.
