Living History Tour @ Angelus Rosedale Cemetery [09/29/2007]


Saturday September 29th, 2007 - WAHA's 17th Annual Living History Tour will be happening at The Angelus Rosedale Cemetery located within sight of Downtown Los Angeles.

If you like cemeteries and Los Angeles history, this is a perfect outing. You'll get to see people in character next to the corresponding graves give little speeches about who they were and what they did - some are more successfull at letting themselves be "posessed" for the occasion than others - but it's always a good time and the money raised from tickets goes to help out the cemetery which is always in need of repair.

Angelus Rosedale Cemetery - though not on tourist's lists like Forest Lawn Glendale or Hollywood Forever - is a really great cemetery with some excellent headstones and sculpture. They've even got a couple of different pyramid crypts!

There's lots of Los Angeles history in the place, so do some research before going and plan to spend some extra time walking around on your own!

[The Vintage Hearse Association will also be there with several hearses on display as part of the tour...]

Time's 50 Worst Cars of All Time

Time Magazine has assembled a list of what they deem to be the fifty worst cars of all time. You can browse through the photos accompanied by acerbic commentary - from the 1899 Horsey Horseless through the 2004 Chevy SSR and see if any of you favorites made the list. This has all been compiled to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Ford Edsel this year.
