non-hetero Posted December 1, 2003 Share Posted December 1, 2003 I live in a city with a 95% caucasion population and I can count the homeless on both hands. I really can't relate to minorities or the poor. I've lived a sheltered life. It's weird like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOZACK Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 HOLT CEMETERY a little info: holt is one of the few cemeteries in new orleans that's not above ground. this place originated in the 19th century as a burial place for homeless people, unclaimed bodies, or the extremely poor. due to lack of space, bodies were placed ontop of eachother. now holt functions as a cemetery primarily for the poor. it's pretty famous for its homemade headstones and strangely decorated plots. it's also known as a serious hotspot for occult activity, especially at night. (i think that this has to do with the fact that about 15% of new orleans residents practice some form of voodoo, and the cemetery is about 99% black. also, bones are readily available. the heavy rain and soft ground sometimes allows bones to rise up to the surface) once i found a hole dug in one of the graves with a headless dove in it. pretty strange. also, the day that i took these pictures, the security guard at delgado community college (the cemetery is behind the school) warned me not to come back due to "the bums and devil worshipping freaks." he also said that the week before, another security guard at the school walked into the cemetery and blew his own brains out. anyway, here goes... http://www.fotango.com/p/eba00395084f00000001.jpg'> ^this headstone was made to look like an open bible on a pedastal, and had bible verses written on it. http://www.fotango.com/p/eba00395084f00000002.jpg'> ^i don't know if you can tell by this picture, but this grave belonged to a little kid. it was only about 3 ft long and was decorated with a few toys http://www.fotango.com/p/eba00395084f00000003.jpg'> http://www.fotango.com/p/eba00395084f00000004.jpg'> http://www.fotango.com/p/eba00395084f00000005.jpg'> ^ memorial for buddy bolden, famous jazz pioneer. the only well-kept grave in the place. http://www.fotango.com/p/eba00395084f00000006.jpg'> http://www.fotango.com/p/eba00395084f00000007.jpg'> ^weird grave decorations http://www.fotango.com/p/eba00395084f00000008.jpg'> http://www.fotango.com/p/eba00395084f00000009.jpg'> http://www.fotango.com/p/eba00395084f00000014.jpg'> closeup of decorations http://www.fotango.com/p/eba00395084f00000015.jpg'> http://www.fotango.com/p/eba00395084f00000013.jpg'> ^fenced-in grave http://www.fotango.com/p/eba00395084f00000011.jpg'> ^jessie hill, jazz musician http://www.fotango.com/p/eba00395084f00000012.jpg'> ^the grassy, "empty" areas like these are actually cluttered with small headstoned, but the weeds keep them covered ARE YA BORED STIFF YET????

boner Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 diggin the photos... holt cemetary looks like it would be creepy as hell at night...and i thought magnolia was going to be razed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOZACK Posted December 10, 2003 Author Share Posted December 10, 2003 ^^magnolia is basically split into 2 parts, one is in better condition than the other if i'm correct. in the worse half, most of the residents have been transferred to other projects downtown (lafitte, st. bernard, iberville, etc.) whether they like it or not. that shift from uptown to downtown has caused alot of rivalry-based violence recently. anyway, yeah most of the magnolia will eventually be demolished and rebuilt. they already did it to the florida pj's and now it's a bunch of multistory, vinyl-siding units painted bright, gay pastel colors. it looks like fuckin disneyland, but in 6 months i'm pretty positive it'll look like the shithole slum it really is. it's funny how the city of new orleans sems to think a pretty mask will decrease the murders & drug trafficking that takes place in those projects.

Milton Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 I found the pictures of the cemetary disturbing for some reason and they incited me to look over my shoulder a few times while viewing. The pictures of the PJ's were cool. I was wondering if i could get this http://www.fotango.com/p/eba00395094f00000009.jpg'> in a size more conducive to desktop placement, thanks a bundle...
