I pass this crumbling old building frequently on my way to buy newspapers and bread in our neighbourhood, Koukaki..
It seems to be ready to collapse, recently propped up and supported on all sides. I wonder why? Why not demolish and rebuild? There must be a good Greek reason.
Old Pioneer Cemetery
5212 70th St. W.
Tacoma, WA 98467
Old Pioneer Cemetery (originally known as Rigney Cemetery) is one of the oldest cemeteries in Pierce county. It is a 4 acre burial donated by husband and wife, John Rigney and Elizabeth Lowry (both born in Ireland). Pioneer has been in use since 1850 but may have unmarked burials prior to this date. After Pioneer became full there was need for another Catholic burial. By October 1905 the Calvary Cemetery Association incorporated and bought the adjoining land. Old Pioneer is not owned by the Association, but is maintained by Calvary.
No records exist prior to 1905 due to a fire. Any information gathered from the headstones is at the office of Calvary Catholic Cemetery stored with their burial records.
In 1950 there was a cemetery workers strike which contributed to the ruins of Old Pioneer.
Old Pioneer is part of Calvary Cemetery located on the Steilacoom Road near South Tacoma. You have to drive through Calvary Cemetery to get to get to the old cemetery. The cemetery is often confused to be part of Calvary since they sit side by side. Go down Orchard/Lakewood, turn at brown Calvary Cemetery sign. Entry is on right.
AKA: Rigney Cemetery, Rigney Catholic Cemetery and Pioneer Catholic Cemetery.
My 8 Mile movie prop, it's awesome. It is a pair of nightclub flyers that were used in the movie 8 Mile in the scene when Wink is handing out flyers in the nightclub. There is a red and yellow flyer with DETROIT'S OWN THE HIP HOP SHOP, LEADAZ OF THE FREE WORLD and CONTACT WINK wrote on them. The flyers came in a resealable bag with a certificate of authenticity. I am happy with the prop but I don't know whether I should keep them in a safe place where they can't get damaged or get them framed with the certificate of authenticity in the frame too.
Propped up again on the loose wheel, someone produces a precision mechanical tool (the fence post) to perform some delicate maintenance (they bang lumps out of something under the car with it!)
Tabletop games often feature these toxic-looking chips.
