As New Orleans is my home away from home, particularly its cemeteries, I was honored to be invited by talk show host, Jeff Crouere of Ringside Politics on WSGO 990AM to discuss a lawsuit against the Archdiocese of New Orleans respective of cemetery accessibility and what the motivations of closing, limiting them may actually be along with other cemetery challenges. I join a distinguished company here with Mindy Shea Frazier of Visit Savannah and Jane Batty, Director of Louisiana Good Life.

Bonaventure Cemetery Is Forever Valentine’s Weekend
Quote
We’ve always said, “Bonaventure is 4 Lovers.” And the place is full of thousands in fact. I wish I could learn and tell every one of their stories in my own lifetime! Many of those couples would tell you that, “you only live once,” and that’s exactly why you should treat yourself and a special other to this weekend’s Bonaventure After Hours’ event! Dare to be different on date night! Bonaventure TV V-Day Commercial 
So what exactly is happening? Firstly, until Shannon Scott created the opportunity for the visitor to see Bonaventure Cemetery after the gates have closed, very few folks outside of locals and the wandering stray coyote, had much wandered the grounds during what Shannon refers to as “the enchantment hours.” The regulars are all sleeping, the weedeaters have stopped whirring and its at times so quiet, you only hear your footsteps. Even fewer people have ever seen it at twilight and nightfall and this is the time of year where you can join in doing that! For greater details, please go to Bonaventure After Hours Tour
