Of the many night group bike rides I've done one of the most memorable was the October 2007 RIDE-Arc ride whose organizers managed to arrange awesome after-dark access both to Evergreen and the historic Angelus-Rosedale cemeteries: <a href="" rel="nofollow">http://flickr.com/photos/wildbell/sets/72157602291938987</a> What a great photo set!

The other cars will drive around. My next stop will be the Glendale Forest Lawn only because they have a Tiki exhibit going on there. It ends on Jan. 4th: http://www.forestlawn.com/Special-Events-And-Facilities/Event-Detail.asp?EventID=139 Fraz, the roads in the park are narrower than most modern cemeteries but you can still park on the side.

How hard is it to find parking around there? I'd love to spend some time around there shooting. Nice spot indeed. How hard is it to find parking around there?

The owner of the founder of Ralphs is buried there (he fell off a cliff), Harry Chandler's first wife was buried there freeing him up to marry Marion Otis the owner of the sort of at one time fabulous LA Times, Earl Rodgers who was a Johnny Cochran attorney figure (got Griffin J Griffin --of Griffith Park fame- off with a light sentence for shooting his wife in the eye), though he died in a pauper's grave, he had a drinking problem and died in a SRO...who would think a cemetary could be so much fun without breaking into it with beer you bought with a fake id.

The only people I found that have heard of it grew up in the area when Boyle Heights was a Jewish neighborhood. In my 2 years on El Sereno, I'm finding that most people have lived here for some time. Everyone I posed the question to said, "You mean Calvary?", but hadn't heard of Evergreen. Yes, I was thinking the same thing.

Most everyone on the Eastside has family buried there or has been there for a funeral. You should also check out Calvary a little further east.
