In just a week, the grass seed thrown by Public Works into the Vick Cemetery ditch is green and growing. Let’s hope it continues to thrive when its roots hit the sterilized soil below.

Odd Fellows Cemetery after a little Bulldog love. Thanks again!

Another view of the ditch bank at its high point.

Not a moment too soon. Here the bank has caved in.

A reminder of why we need the survey map — and need it recorded. The stake was one of the boundary markers New South Associates set.  Predictably, it — and all the other boundary stakes — fell down. The stobs once marked the head or foot of a grave detected via ground-penetrating radar. They’re lying on patch of ground scorched by Pramitol (or something similar) sprayed to try to preserve their locations.

I’ve said it before. This stretch of street is a hot mess. It’s like the backyard basketball court your Cousin Junior poured before he turned the truck in. No apparent sub-base. Thus, both the street and the patch have failed. 

A new concrete apron has been poured at the gravel utility access road that runs along Lane Park. Beyond it, no curb, no gutter until you pass Rountree Cemetery.

Interesting. Locate what?
