I was raised in Tulsa, when i turned 18 i moved into one of dads appartments in Sand Springs so he could get me closer to work. I was'nt nieve to this town, id worked here of & on during summers in school.The first time i was here, i got into a car wreck, it just got stranger & stranger. After meeting some locals, they came by after work to pick me up & go crusin. Asked me if i had seen the graveyard, which i had'nt, so they drove me to Atwoods parking-lot & what do i see? THIS. Seems that the property developers negotiated an agreement, back when. Hear you go, they could'nt re-locate the graveyard, so they built around it.

VERY COOL POSTING MIKE:)
Now that is something ! I have never seen anything like it . Very cool photo Mikie !
thank you Sean.
Your very welcome :)
thank you Mani, did you ever see that t.v. show called "Srange Days"? It was filmed here!
thank you trgrubaugh
Sometimes when an old cemetary is considered a historical sight they are not allowed to relocate it. I remember an old 1800's slave cemetary in NJ that was surrounded by businesses and homes. In your first picture it looks like there is a large stone with a marker plaque on it. If you get a chance, check that out. The cemetary in NJ had a Historical Places Plaque mounted on the fence.
will do tony, thanks for the info. . remember "looking" at that hat post earlier, the one you could'nt see? go back there.
Mikie I never saw show called strange days but I have seen some right in my front yard . I think the title of your photo is not RIP but RIBZ . That is rest in business zone . Somehow I think I would lose my interest in shopping and eating at that mall . I would get depressed thinking of all the people that thought they were buried under a tree in a quiet hill :-)
It seems knowbody even give's this a second thought Mani. If you need an electronic part, just walk around the graveyard and get it at Radio Shack. Make's you wonder if Atwoods does'nt sell gravestones.
