This series examines the ugliest,
most embarrassing, and shameful locations in our already
less-than-glamourous home of Arthur, Ontario.
LOCATION #3:
GRAB A SEAT
Forget park benches, Arthur takes
class to the next level by placing an old couch on an actually nice
walking trail.
If you get tired, take a load
off!
Historical Fact: The headstones near
back of park are left from an Anglican cemetery. The cemetery was
closed and bodies exhumed in the 1920's. I'm not sure how good a
job they did, as a few headstones remain. Apparently at least one
headstone, supported by cases of 24's, formed a coffee table in
nearby appartment building. The land is now zoned parkland. No
structures can be built on it unless the property is trenched every
6' square and 6' deep to guarantee there are no remains
there.
Once a significant amount of snow
comes, cache may be a bit more of a challenge.
