Um, I forgot to shoot the sign or write down the name ... and it's been a while. I forgot what it is!

(But I remember that it's Marietta, Ohio and it's right across from the Ohio River)

Talking Heads - Take Me to the River

Richwood

A church in Richwood, Ohio's Claiborne Cemetery; a pretty, brightly painted little thing that features a similar (well, pretty and brightly painted) mausoleum. The brightest, most cheerful mausoleum I have ever seen. Or probably you either, for that matter. Once October begins, and with it, the annual Halloween-a-thon, I will post a picture of this mausoleum on my Flickr account.

You won't miss it; it's painted pumpkin/orange and white.

For absolutely no good reason other than boredom, let's make the remaining days of September all about 1985, musically, shall we?

On this day, I saw the sun coming through the windows and realized for the first time, that they are stained glass; they've always been so dark when I passed them, that I never knew.
