It is relatively easy to find, as it is located just across from the Crystal Shrine Grotto. This is one of the more extravagant graves that you will find in the cemetery. The grave is marked by a huge bronze foot stone that has photos of Hayes in different stages of his life and his movies engraved in it. It also has the God's Garden poem inscribed and reads: God looked around his garden And he found an empty place He then looked down upon this earth And found your star He put his arms around you And lifted you to rest God's garden is beautiful now He always takes the best. But when you left. THE BIGGEST PART OF ME LEFT. But thanks for leaving a part of us in KOJO The hardest things always was for you to say goodbye. So I won't either. One day we'll be together again. LOVING YOU WAS THE GREATEST THING I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED YOU'LL ALWAYS BE IN MY HEART. My Love, Your wife ADJOWA "MARGARET" HAYES The grave looks pretty awesome and is in great shape. Parking here is very easy. There is parking available right in front of where the plot is located. I know what I want my grave to look like now, when it is my time. Anyway, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip. There are many sights to check out in the cemetery including the Crystal Shrine Grotto.

The police officer asked me multiple times if I was ok and if I needed anything. I was so grateful for this police officer. I live in a suburb outside of Memphis. I have called the police in the past in the suburb that I live in for domestic issues. It was a joke how poorly my situation was handled by the suburban police officers. I was born and raised in Memphis, Hickory Hill. It does break my heart to see what has happened with the level of crime in Memphis. I can't imagine what all the Memphis police staff deals with every day and night. If I need any assistance again, I won't bother calling the police where I live. It honestly wouldn't do any good. I would call the Memphis Police. I know that they would do everything in their legal power to help me.

I either get handed down to a different person being that I'm talking to the wrong person or I get somebody that's supposed to be in the right department but tells me how to help the situation instead of them finding the solution!!!! I have met with the chief deputy Muse under Mayor Young, I have spoken with my city councilman Ms Walker, I have spoken with different code enforcement supervisors for the city and the county, I have also spoken to the assistant to Mayor Young and I have gotten absolutely nowhere!!!!! It is all lip service and all they want to tell you is how you can help the situation instead of them working on finding the solution to our problems here in Memphis city and Shelby county Tennessee. I would like to know again why we elect people that are not committed to finding the solution!!!!!! Everyone I have talked to this year has told me what to do instead of them saying let me help resolve the problem!!!!! This is very very sad. You wonder why people are giving up and they don't care!!!!

Also, a library card is not required to reserve a study room...I felt like I was visiting someone in jail because there's no privacy between the study rooms. Rooms 1 and 2 were separated by a glass window. I didn't like studying while trying to mentally block out the person in room 2. Having a tinted window or curtain to block the rooms would have been great. I was thankful that the security officer removed the clock out of my study room per my request. The ticking sound of the second hand on the clock was a distraction to me...I was able to accomplish my study goals!

I've not had any of them go missing. The staff I've dealt with when I do go to the counter is always friendly but not overly so. USPS has big issues with delivery that are not necessarily the fault of those at the service counter. The building is open on Sat but the service counter is NOT which is annoying and means I must plan a drop off during a weekday because the package drop and outdoor post box are inaccessible. About a year ago someone broke into the outdoor letter box and they haven't reopened it. So there is minimal service here if you are looking for convenience.

This statue was commissioned by UNICO, an Italian American organization, in 1984. It was moved from…read moredowntown Columbus Park to Marquette Park, the site of the annual Memphis Italian Festival. Since being relocated to the park, it has been vandalized twice and had received calls for its removal. The 12-foot bronze statue depicts Columbus with a sword hanging from his left hip and his right hand over his brows, as if he is looking out yonder. The statue is perched upon a concrete pedestal and sits upon a map of the Mediterranean region made out of concrete. The makers used Google Maps to create an accurate layout of Italy and the surrounding islands. Visitors are encouraged to climb on and around the concrete pieces. You will also find cement/brick benches around the small plaza's perimeter with the names of donor's on it. A flag pole with the American and Tennessee flag on it and another flag pole with Italy's flag, serves as the backdrop to the plaza. Additionally, the park has a lot of plaques, most of them look relatively new. Some of the plaques include the names of gold and silver sponsors, a dedication to Louis Franceschini, Jr, a WWII vet and UNICO supporter, facts about Columbus, Columbus quotes, and regions of Italy. Regardless of the controversy surrounding the statue it is located in a nice little plaza area and is well maintained my UNICO. The statue and it's associated plaza are well done and exudes Italian pride. I am not sure if there will come a day that this statue will succumb to the calls for its removal, but enjoy it while it is here. UNICO has been the savior of many other Columbus statues from across the country, including one that was decapitated in Waterbury Connecticut, and it has been their mission not to give in. Anyway, this is not a long stop. I was there less than 5 minutes. So, you may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions in the area, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip. Most victors of this statute will probably be visiting Marquette Park, in some capacity anyway, so that would be a great start to any itinerary that include a visit here.
