Halloween excursion photo dump pt 3!

Our last stops yesterday were to a couple of cemeteries and our favorite little park (I think Ernest spotted a troll near the stone fountain 😂). Getting to see the stunning iron gates at Elmwood was lovely, such a work of art. Also had to get a stepping on crunchy leaves pic!

I took a couple short vids of the more elaborate houses, you can find them on my IG (where I live primarily until I get the new 'puter). I'm omarandjohnny there as well, feel free to add me 🖤

Cemeteries in Charlotte, NC 04JUL23

New year, new home. Boston -> Charlotte

At Elmwood Cemetery, I went on a walk to remember the dead.

Also sauntered over to Old Settler's Cemetery.

Let me know if anyone spots any ghosts.

Old city, old gravestones going back to the mid 1700's.

As well as some very interesting and time warped masonry.

Try to recall those that came before you today.

And happy 4th.

The oldest African-American business in Memphis was, for many years, the T.H. Hayes & Sons Funeral Home. It was owned and operated by the Hayes family, pictured here from left to right: Thomas Jr., Florence, Thomas Sr., and Taylor. Thomas Sr. opened the business in 1902 on Poplar Avenue but relocated it to South Lauderdale in 1918. Son Thomas Jr. also owned the Birmingham Black Barons, a Negro Baseball League team that once boasted Willie Mays as a player. The entire Hayes family rests at Elmwood Cemetery.

The Trouble with Cemetery Submissions in Niantic Wayfarer:

There's so much that's changed since The Ingress Days.... I live in South Weymouth Massachusetts, and forever ago, Ingress players got this tiny little Cemetery into the platform:

So, it's STILL IN THE PLATFORM, and it's a PokéStop in #PokemonGo

Then, PoGo players botched the Nomination platform in North America around 2017, which voided the feature for everyone except in some tiny countries overseas.

I actually emailed 📧 Niantic about this in Autumn of 2018, and it took so much effort to finally be able to speak to a real human being. It was a guy named Kirk.

He told me not to give up, even if it was by playing Ingress, and wouldn't say much more. But, I'd been passed through automated services, different people working there just giving me cut-copy-paste generic answers which never answered my questions, but that guy, Kirk, actually did. He wrote me a whole letter. In 2018, they considered my area "rural" which is a joke, since it's actually a city, but with lots of trees.

But, by the end of 2019, I despite Kirk from Niantic telling me not to give up playing, and to try and hit Level 40 (the last level back then) I was very close to hitting Level 40, but I just felt so disheartened. 😔 and, I was giving up on the ability to make new PokéStops. The game seemed broken. It seemed like Niantic didn't care about the upkeep of the game. And, I lost faith... when, it suddenly WENT LIVE!

But, there were new rules, and a role-out, so I scrambled to get my last XP to hit Level 40!

I checked every article, video, and resource, including Ingress Players, and I also played Ingress, sat on Livestreams, took notes in my notebook. 📓

But, 1 thing I notices about the 2019 Niantic Wayfarer system was changes to the rules. Cemetery submissions were mostly a no go UNLESS THEY WERE HISTORICAL OR CELEBRITY Waypoints.

Here's another Ingress Submission Cemetery IN MY TOWN!

This submission it so old. It's 1 of the nicer Cemeteries. I actually spoke to locals here, and learned a lot from a man who's father was buried there. I don't just read stuff online, I go out n meet people. I talked to this guy (and others) during a Lockdown Independence Day weekend, n he was liquored up,n told me all kinds of details about the town, people in charge, the history, going back centuries, good stuff n trails in the woods, and so much more.

So, based on his Intel, I submitted the Moment thingy in that Cemetery witch is also a PokéStop.

It was actually a fountain w a perpetual motion ball on it, but I busted during some mega hurricane 🌀. The Walker family was famous tycoons, n that's a lot of other history stuff, if u know anything about the Gilded Age which literally started here, as far as the eyes can see. Not even exaggerating. And not just the shoe industry, several industries.

So, it was soooooo odd that THIS GOT THROUGH:

Even tho the Elmwood Cemetery is actually a PokéStop, n has been for some years now, I'm shocked it even got through. But, the community voted it in. It's one of those 1800s ones that's not worth the effort. It's also ultra common, nothing special. But, also, if you blink, you'll miss it. And, it's in someone's ultra quiet New England neighborhood.... I, also, personally, would've never voted it through.... and yet, THERE IT IS!

MORE OF MY BACKSTORY:

I also kept getting banned because some bullies kept making up lies about me being an abuser n a racist. I even had to change my identity, and my name, 3 times during the Pandemic, and I pretended I was a dude. But, all the Admin in my local Discord server knew me, n knew who I was.

Now, u CAN actually get some kinds of Cemetery related waypoints through, tho I don't recommend it for several reasons.

You need to REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING,

ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND THE RULES,

AND ACTUALLY MAKE A STRONG CASE FOR IT.

Is it historical?

I don't recommend anything from the 1800s & 1900s, unless it's an actual celebrity, founder of a town or city, that's verifiable. So, it ought to be way older than the 1800s, n even THAT will struggle to get through. In fact, I generally DO NOT even bother submitting cemeteries because they get screwed so fast.

The old 2019 rules against Cemetery submissions was because they thought it might be offensive to people in parts of Asia like: Chinese, Korean, parts of Southern Asia, etc.

This includes gravestones, but a famous mosuleum might go through. A president, or Elvis Presley level celebrity would probably go through.

It's because people don't use their good Judgment, and don't think things through, you're gonna get these brainless, quick to judgement voters who vote it down.

I actually read EVERY GRAVE, N CEMETERY SUBMISSION I vote on in Wayfarer. I ALSO TEND TO VOTE THEM DOWN. BECAUSE I PUT SO MUCH EFFORT into my submissions, n back up everything with facts, citations, quality, effort, etc.

So, when I see something that's potentially GOOD, but they didn't bother to write anything, not only do I down vote it, I also write something in the comment section.

HOWEVER...

There is actually a VERY GOOD Cemetery that more than qualifies, but I also live in SOUTH WEYMOUTH MASSACHUSETTS n we have active saboteurs from Reddit that hate us just because we live & breathe, and BRAG ABOUT IT FOR YEARS.

They GET OFF ON IT.

Here's an EXAMPLE of a tomb I got through of a very famous figure of many counts. It qualified due to multiple things, but I had to try through APPEALS, by writing an essay to make the case for it, since people DO NOT READ or USE GOOD JUDGEMENT. they just conclusion jump: Cemetery = BAD, -regardless of ALL THE DETAILS, and WHAT THE RULES HAVE EXCEPTIONS FOR.

I did manage to get the special historical tomb of a famous local soldier/veteran that's from a few registries including the descendants of the Pilgrims from The Mayflower (Yes! The Thanksgiving Mayflower down the highway in Plymouth Mass)

But, the actual Cemetery itself, which is loaded with history, is usually sabotaged.

It's the super old Highland Cemetery which is very popular in Google. It's also very popular with dog walkers and professional photographers for decades. (I've worked on films, and photoshoot projects since Bush was president, so I know about these things)

Since things that have a sign or a NAME tend to do better, I used a photo of the Shed in this location in a number of my submissions, as did other players.

But, what do the haters do?

They lie on us and say it's a mismatched location, or doesn't meet criteria. Or, that it doesn't meet criteria.

Read the rules!

Read my blurbs!

Check my URLS!

I've also helped other players try submitting this Cemetery.

There's actually WAY MORE WEIGHT IN FAVORITE OF IT'S CREDIBILITY THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS.

This one is the OLDEST, and it is OLD. It's got Puritans in it.

Highland Photos on Google

This is why, when I'm coaching other players with Wayfarer, I teach people that it's more SUBJECTIVE than OBJECTIVE.

If it REALLY WAS ALL ABOUT THE RULES & CRITERIA then THIS WOULD BE a Waypoint YEARS AGO... but its NOT.

Meanwhile the OTHER ONES which SHOULD NOT really be a Waypoint, ACTUALLY MADE IT THROUGH, and they've been in the system FOR YEARS.

Also, on the Appeals, there's not enough room to write a whole 9 volume account of Me/Us VS The Saboteur Bullies.

Who got time for that ANYWAY???
