The 136-year-old Evergreen Cemetery in Boyle Heights has turned brown and dry and mourners are pretty upset about it--the cemetery blames LADWP restrictions, County Supe Gloria Molina and others blame the cemetery. Molina calls it "a disgrace to the renowned people who have been laid to rest here – which includes historic figures, celebrities, as well as a significant Chinese day laborer population from the turn of the last century," and she's pushing for an improvement, which the cemetery is not super happy about (they say they'll go to court over the matter).
