For example did you know that here in El Paso's Concordia Cemetary the legendary outlaw, John Wesley Hardin is buried.
Or that in the Allegheny Cemetary in Pittsburgh, PA the famous composer Stephen C. Foster is buried.
So as you're battling the winter cold and snow, or the desert wind perhaps you can take time out to wander through one of these little gems. After all, we should probably familiarize ourselves with those we will hopefully have the opportunity to meet one day :)
I also came across a few famous people from here in the Wild Wild West of El Paso:
Billy the Kid
Calamity Jane
Pancho Villa

I once got locked in Concordia Cemetery when they closed early in the evening without warning. Had to climb over a wall that was off the gateway to get out. Good healthy fun!
ooooh! How creepy and fun! I've never understood why they lock up cemetaries not like people, are dying to get in or something....hehehe sorry had to throw that in there ;)
