Rob, you are such a child sometimes.
I suggest you research the history of Greenwood and then go visit.
I go to cemeteries often; it’s not out of disrespect, but out of respect. It’s very tranquil and peaceful.
Greenwood was founded in the late 1830’s. In the 1850’s, New Yorker’s flocked to it as a tourist destination and it was used for picnicking by the masses. There weren’t any public parks then!
Greenwood promotes tours!
Geez, I’m not saying go run amok in there and act like an idiot. I’m saying go enjoy looking at some great architecture, enjoy the peaceful outdoors and maybe reflect on life a bit.
If you’re into architectural styles, the mausoleums and headstones will impress you. You can find all styles here. Use the main entrance on 5th Avenue. The gates are beautiful and in the Gothic Revival Style.
I guess someone should tell Arlington Cemetery not to let in the ‘tourists’.
Père Lachaise in Paris is one of the most popular tourist destinations in that city and perhaps the most well known cemetery in the world. I don’t feel it’s disrespectful to go there and view the grounds and tombstones. It was a thrill for me to visit the resting sites of Edith Piaf, Chopin, and many other fascinating individuals, including one of my idols, Oscar Wilde.
Biff, when is your “Hotties and Asshats Reunion”? And where eactly is the Floyd’s of which you speak?
Noki, my condolences re: your grandmother as well.

Woodlawn in the Bronx is quite beautiful and has many celebs buried there too.
Biff…you and I should get together for a drink at OW Bar (ormerly Oscar Wilde) someday.
dave, stop it right now.
You are getting gross.
