Cities Of The Dead: Valence Cemetery, New Orleans

I found this cemetery shortly after my son started violin lessons in the Freret Neighborhood. It was in worse condition then, but the isolation of this cemetery is palpable, despite it being surrounded by a neighborhood. Sadly, Valence has suffered from vandalism over the years, and it took local action from Save Our Cemeteries, and the public to drive much needed attention and repairs to the grounds.
