I was heading onto the freeway yesterday afternoon. The on-ramp I took curves right past an old graveyard (next to Aloha Stadium, for those familiar with Hawai'i). The gravestones are nearly buried by unmown grass; the place is obviously completely uncared for. It's a shame.

I know the one you mean -- it's really eerie. There's a similar one in Ewa, too, and its neglect is even odder IMO because it's right on Ft. Weaver, very visible to everyone coming into or out of town (I think the Aiea one is in a little more obscure location).
