yes. there bungaloos on one route. I could have walked to them and taken a pic when I hit up st.Helens. It was just north of them and a block east. these are small.

Pink....?
When we were painting the outside of our house I wanted dh to pick out the colors with me. He wanted me to pick the colors. So I told him that I was going to paint it a peachy orange with cream trim. He decided really quickly he would help choose the colors. :biggrin

this was where one was pink, it has been painted. I do know an off color purple one with some pink in it. just need an excuse to photo it. oh and I have found more graves in the Gifford area.why make a park near them? I hope there is no one resting there.
 
Are those glass block windows in the blue house? They have come back in style in recent yrs.

Wow, I cannot imagine these grave sites not being cared for, that is sad.

It looks like all those buildings were the same and some were renovated and others just left?

No bodies, just headstones....that is strange. These are made with some very attractive marble.

And very well preserved. I used to see these as a kid and wondered what was with this grave yard.I walked up to brick one.I also well was walking home.lol.
 
I always wondered why some people would choose bright blue, neon colors, or purples to paint their homes. Pink rather pushes matters, but could be understood to some level, I suppose.

Why would the tombstones be left if the bodies had been moved?

History
camp blanding has a marker with names for a mass grave of deceased German pows.they were moved to the ft.Benning. the marker us still at Blanding.

I had forgotten about the Ft Benning/German POWs history.

that alone deserve a thread. camp blanding if they kept it would have been home of the infantry. it was the largest post in the world with the amount of troops. 4 theatres. two pow camps(usa, usn). five stockades. it had at its height 55,000 troops. its part of the reason I started getting into my town's history.

tomorrow is the walker ave/26th st route. I will try to get some more pics of old homes. there is one I will get, the Judge Redstone homestead. the redstones are still here. if I post that on fb, I may get a few of them to talk. I already have with the bungalows. one of the people that live here, his parents rented those during ww2 as his dad was stationed there. these guys like that are great for photos and stories of the navy days of vero.
 
Unfortunately, if you started a thread about Ft Benning/German POWs' history, there would be some who would post about how awfully the US treated foreign POWs. If that did indeed happen, it would lead to problems for everyone.
