That cemetery at UA needs to go. It's an eyesore and is hampering development along Bryant Dr.

Cemeteries are moved all the time. A good place to bury the dead two hundred years ago may not be the best place now. There's nothing wrong with respectfully moving graves to a new site.

Yeah that is not going to happen....That is Evergreen Cemetery: Tuscaloosa's oldest. Most of the town and areas oldest, founding families have plots there. The graves go back to the 1830's. You can't buy a plot there anymore and the only way you can be interred is if you have a family member there. I believe that idea has been floated in the past and to say there was an uproar about it is an understatement.
