Nice little motorcycle ride on this Saturday, back to the Springfield area to visit the Ferncliff Cemetery. This was suggested by my wife who had been there before. Nice place with a lot of history. In fact, came across the grave of a former Governor of Ohio. I have those photos on my "Racing with the Wind" page.
Section at left is the Civil War section, a plus a couple more areas below. It was a very beautiful and well kept cemetery and I enjoyed the ride there.
Headed out past some more old houses, I had thought of Springfield as a run down wreck of a city, but much of it is in very nice shape and certainly finding that a great deal of it is very interesting indeed.
To be sure, it has some beat down areas, and there is the very large and abandoned for the most part Lower Valley Mall but otherwise it has some very historic buildings and some very interesting areas to see. Plus, I have seen where they are removing some of the largest rundown and abandoned structures which is a very good thing. Certainly Springfield rates further explorations in the future.
