Lane Street Project: circle marks the spot.

That would be the pin that marks the northeast corner of Vick Cemetery. 

In the middle of the parking lot. Which means everything to the left sits on top of Odd Fellows Cemetery. I once described this encroachment as a “sliver,” but another time as “sprawl.” It’s definitely more the latter.

  1. Wow! Thats crazy. Was part of the cemetery just taken or was there compensation paid for it ( which I doubt given the condition of the site previously). Such a Shame…..

    1. It was sloppy work done 25 or so years ago. The fence also partially encroaches over the line. It was not intentional (which is in no way an excuse), so no compensation was paid beforehand. As far as I know, I was the first one to publicly question the placement. This is among the issues the Vick Advisory Committee is exploring solutions to.
