Sunnyside Cemetery

"Extraordinary. One of two vintage cemeteries with gravestones and mausoleums dating as far back as the 1860s. Very peaceful. I visit it to read poetry to the dead. The same title of my book of poetry ©️ 2002. Yet, unlike Municipal, right next door on the same plot of land, this cemetery is not open 24 hours. It's a beautiful place to relax and take a cat nap for a few hours during a hot Summer's midday and waking up to an ice cold whiskey lemonade. It has movie nighttime gatherings in the summer. Come with a picnic basket and call it a wonderful time burning the midnight oil, so to speak. Very leafy. Very quaint. Very peaceful. Also, for weirdo people who believe in dogmatic folklore and say they have seen hauntings of ghosts and spirits and poltergeists need to be in a padded room for the rest of their natural born lives. I simply find it so hilarious that people spook themselves, these are the same dingbats who also believe in Nosferatu and necromancers. I put money on it they dress up for Halloween and howl at the moon."

"I passed through the place and I began to think about life.. saw people's gravestones that had 1920, 1892 as the time of death. I begin to think that one day, all those living now will die"

"I have no family here buried but I drive down willow and see such a beautiful historic landmark that the city of long beach needs to take better care of instead of letting the homeless run the streets, but that's all political reasons and I wont go there on that, but this place is such a piece of history that should not be forgotten!!!!!!!!! Never!!!!!!!!!"

"Went to this cemetery on July 30th 2012 ghost hunting and I had an experience there. All I saw was a black..shape is the best way I can explain it dart from one side of my view to the other. Very strange."
