Joggers, Doggie Bags and Carnitas: A Stroll Through the Evergreen Jogging Path
There's just something about walking around a cemetery that brings people out in droves. I remember when I was seven years old going on walks after school with my tia (aunt) Pat, sister, and cousin around Calgary Cemetery on First Street in East LA. Whether it was being so close to the dead, or trying to beat my sister and cousin in a foot race to the corner of Eastern Avenue and First Street, it became a tradition for us to round the cemetery at least once a week.
