Monday this is a main thoroughfare
0:05
through downtown Oldtown orange and it
0:09
may not seem too busy now but rest
0:13
assured earlier in the weekend Saturday
0:16
and Sunday this was a hot spot of
0:19
Tourism people dancing and singing and
0:22
eating at the fine Mexican restaurants
0:26
and I am one of those people who ate at
0:28
the fine Mexican restaurants
0:30
down this thoroughfare and I wanted to
0:33
do a vlog here on this Monday tgim by
0:37
the way thank goodness it is
0:39
Monday because I did a periscope on
0:41
Saturday night it was kind of dark and I
0:43
wanted to come back before I headed back
0:45
to Orange County and I wanted to show
0:47
you guys
0:50
this a cemetery that is right off the
0:53
side of the road the elcampo Santo
0:58
Cemetery which was founded in
1:01
1849 but actually but actually I know
1:05
you're trying to read the sign actually
1:06
this Cemetery was being utilized until
1:09
1897
1:11
1898 and then this road this tourist
1:16
Mecca of Oldtown orange Oldtown orange I
1:19
keep saying Oldtown orange Orangetown
1:21
San Diego San Diego because I always go
1:25
down to the orange circle which is at
1:26
orang Oldtown orange but this is Oldtown
1:28
San Diego and there is a cemetery right
1:33
off the
1:34
side of the road and if that is not
1:37
interesting enough all the graves that
1:40
are in this Cemetery if that is not
1:42
enough that this road runs right beside
1:44
it the interesting thing is that there
1:47
are actually graves right where we are
1:49
standing in fact there's someone buried
1:52
right where you are standing and there
1:54
is the grave site you can see here it
1:57
says grave site
1:59
cuz there is someone actually buried
2:02
everywhere it says grave sight so right
2:06
here on this main
2:08
drag right here in Orange Orange old I
2:12
keep saying Orange Orange County we are
2:15
in San Diego not in Orange but right
2:18
here on this main drag in San Diego
2:21
Oldtown San Diego look at
2:24
this so everywhere you see one of those
2:26
little icons that say grave site there
2:29
is actually
2:30
a grave buried in the road or on the
2:35
sidewalk they're everywhere in fact look
2:38
right over here here's another
2:45
one grave site right
2:45
there here's another one right here
2:48
grave site right
2:51
there they just pretty much stretch all
2:53
the way down the road to the edge of
2:56
where the cemetery is but then also in
2:59
here
3:01
they said I guess I looked at a little
3:02
article online that said there were 477
3:05
people buried in this Cemetery
3:07
originally and I'm guessing like maybe
3:10
the houses were built on top of graves
3:12
maybe the graves stretched out that way
3:14
but then there's a sign actually over
3:17
here that says how many people does it
3:19
say they're actually buried in the road
3:21
and on the sidewalk more than 20 more
3:24
than 20 so out of the
3:26
477 people 20 of them are actually
3:29
buried in the road and here is actually
3:32
a sign kind of documenting it
3:34
remembering the more than 20 men women
3:36
and children who lie buried beneath San
3:39
Diego Avenue Avenue only assemblyman
3:42
Edward L green was exhumed so there was
3:45
one guy who was actually assumed taken
3:47
up and placed within the new boundaries
3:49
of the El Campo Santo Cemetery which is
3:51
actually right over here these grades
3:53
were discovered with the use of a ground
3:56
penetrating radar in 1993
4:00
and you can actually see so here's where
4:01
we are we're standing we're right here
4:04
so right now right now we're actually
4:06
standing right there so there is a grave
4:09
right over there and there's Graves that
4:11
go all the way down that way and all the
4:14
way over here starting with that one
4:18
which that kind of actually looks like
4:19
it would have been you know where you
4:21
could like ride a skateboard up or a
4:22
bicycle up or someone could actually go
4:24
down walk down that way and there's a
4:26
grave right there look at that there's a
4:29
grave
4:30
right there grave site so that's
4:33
interesting so just think in the middle
4:35
of the road let's get us come over here
4:37
and get a picture real quick let's get a
4:39
little picture graves in the middle of
4:42
the road Point down maybe Point down can
4:44
you see
4:45
me that's good graves in the road we use
4:48
that as the screenshot graves in the
4:52
road you don't see stuff like this all
4:54
the time but here in San Diego this is
4:56
actually a State Historical marker 6
4:59
it's a national landmark a state
5:01
historical landmark not a national and
5:04
here's a little carving of the sign
5:08
restored in
5:10
1933 could that be right I guess it
5:13
would be right because the cemetery
5:14
started in 1849 it was restored in 1933
5:20
so let's just take a quick little walk
5:21
around the cemetery here's a
5:25
sign El Campo Santo is also called The
5:28
Holy field
5:31
there used to be an adobe Chapel on the
5:33
corner of the street as well and that no
5:36
longer
5:39
exists so here you go here's some of the
5:41
graves that are actually not in the road
5:43
these are actually in in the organized
5:46
Cemetery some old tiny
5:55
Graves
