Planning Mishaps: Cemeteries in Parking Lots
January 28th, 2009
Tullahassee Creek Indian Cemetery – Sand Springs, Oklahoma
Situated right between an ATM and a postal drop box, this Indian cemetery comprises about 1/4 acre of isolated turf in a parking lot outside Tulsa.
It was founded in 1883 and took less than a century to become the inadvertent centerpiece of a strip mall.

Another example of Locating memories, but this time in the mist of a radical change in place. Someday that store and that parking lot will be a remnant of a past use.
