If there is one inescapable fact about Multnomah Park, it is in an URBAN area! Whenever I am there I see hookers, tweekers, bums and other assorted citizenry. Across the street on Holgate is a plasma center that is always busy. Across 82nd is a motel, a car parts store, Starbucks, Walgreens, Wal-Mart, Quiznos, Value Village, and right next door is a wholesale used car lot. The cemetery is right in the middle of it all. When the cemetery was deeded back in 1888, all that surrounded the cemetery was farmland and orchards. This photo is taken from just outside Starbucks looking across the street to Walgreens and you can see some of the tall fir trees in the cemetery. A little green oasis in a sea of asphalt.
