Riverside Cemetery is located in Montford, near downtown Asheville, NC. It is an historic cemetery with many notable remains interred in its hills including former NC governor and local hero Zebulon Baird Vance. Wow, that’s really a mouthful. What could any child have done to deserve that name?
I was driving in the neighborhood last week and the lighting and color was really inspiring so I took a turn to see the haps in the old resting grounds. The variety of headstones, statues and tombs is quite diverse. Everything from simple headstones of soldiers in rows, to grandiose monuments can be found. I want a statue with lasers or really elaborate lighting at least for my tomb. Eyes that glow would be cool too. Something to scare all the teenagers who come to hang out and get high. I know, a robot statue!
