In the Season Two debut of Cities of the Dead, I visit a cemetery that holds some of the most stark memories for me when I was first beginning to explore New Orleans' cemeteries. My recollections of Carrollton Cemetery, are of a large amount of statues given the amount of land, but in this revisit, I find otherwise. I also recall finding out a serious crime took place moments after my first visit, so that is on my mind as I explore this time around. This was also, (as I recall), my first time seeing handmade headstones, and in-ground burials in a New Orleans cemetery.
Carrollton Cemetery is sometimes dubbed Green Street Cemetery (I think it's original name).
On this visit, I find myself trapped as a funeral procession enters the cemetery, surrounding my vehicle with people and parked cars, and the awkwardness that ensued. It remains a personal favorite.
