Name the cemetery. Bonus points if you get the neighborhood and the bridge in the background. Just go to the comments.

Calvary (Old) Cemetery, with the Kosciucsko (I bungled that, I’m sure) Bridge over Newtown Creek.

Pretty darn good, Pro-Zak. You win. The spelling is Kosciusko for the Kosciusko Bridge that goes over Newtown Creek to Brooklyn.

I think this week’s was a little too morbid for most. I’ll bring it back to neighborhoods of the living next week, even if Queens really is cemetery land.

I think name that cemetary is great!!
Do you know where (which cemetary)the memorial for the General Slocum ship is?
Or which cemetary in Queens has the grave of Harry Houdini?
We could have alot of fun with cemetary trivia…unless your too uptight about that. PS..I knew the answer to the clue too.

But the town was never named. It is Blissville.
