Texas State Cemetary Restoration

Too bad the most exciting renewal project on East 11th Street is being done for the benefit of dead people. But not entirely; this is more than just a fix-up gig. The State Cemetery is being redesigned and rebuilt into a landmark of Lone Star dignity, a fitting resting place for Bob Bullock, whose cause this is, and an incipient tour-bus magnet right in the heart of Blackshear.
