Sometimes I go to work via 24th Street and I've often noticed the historical marker near the grocery store near Orange Avenue. Upon further investigation, I found a wonderful little spot that's pretty neat - on top of a knoll right behind the grocery is the cemetery and burial spot of Agatha Strother Lewis and Colonel Elijah McClanahan.
I walked up there this morning and took a look about. Between the silence of the morning, the remnants of last week's snow, and three days before Christmas, it was a nice litte escape from the hustle of the season.
You never know what you'll find if you open your eyes.
