It really isn't too bizarre when one considers that it is the street in back of a large cemetery. However, this Cemetery St. has two dead-ends!!! The only way on or off is by way of the two streets bounding the sides of the cemetery perpendicular to Cemetery Street. Once in a while the city fathers try to change the name of this street but the 20 or so families who live there always file a petition against it. They all 'like' the name. Anyone else ever live on a Cemetery St. (with two dead-ends)? ------------------------------------------------------------ Bob (a former 'dead-end' kid) Adolt
