What's in a name?

Well, oddly enough, at Cave Hill Cemetery, there's a hill, with a cave.

A natural spring spills forth from this 246 ft deep cave. Standing upright, the cave could be explored for about 100ft. No, it's not allowed... There is a colony of bats that inhabit the cave. Bats pouring from a cave at dusk in a cemetery would be quite a visual.

This man, Harry Leon Collins, held a job I didn't even know existed. He was the corporate magician for Frito Lay.

This statue was sculpted by fellow Kentuckian and eternal neighbor at Cave Hill Cemetery, Barney Bright.
Grave of Colonel Harland Sanders, Kentucky Fried Chicken powerhouse, and his wife. In the these-people-had-lots-of-money part of this really lovely cemetery.  #kfc #cemetery
