Having worked in Cabbagetown for years, I didn't know someone had done a Study of the Cemetary. Few know the Cemetary actually was where the Residents of Atlanta drew water before there was plumbing, although the creek, which lead from there to the Airport and the mouth of the Flint River, have long been gone. I suppose because of that it is fitting that Maynard Jackson, (Fm) Mayor, is Buried there. Further, for those whom read this in the years to come, Oakland Cemetary was Founded on a Creek Indian Burial Mound, As Atlanta actually marked the Southern Border between the Creek and Cherokee Indian Nations, but if you want to read more, you will need to travel up into the mountains on US 129, to Revenge Creek on Blood Mountain, for that information.

Steve, Yes, frames are in Photoshop, I actually found a free action somewhere and then modified it for my tastes and to add the copyright. Thanks for your compliment! Keith
