On Dixie Highway, across from that Kroger in Fort Mitchell that's right behind Beechwood.
Yes.
I didn't put them on, the caretaker's son did, which the caretaker allowed and even provided us with supplies, including alcohol.
Oh wow...I actually have a little story about that place. Before I joined the Army in 2005, I used to work temp jobs through Labor Ready. One day they sent us out to that cemetery to supposedly do some concrete work. But it turned out we were actually supposed to help demolish a mausoleum and the folks at Labor Ready sent us there with the wrong boots and equipment.
Anyways, I wound up stepping backwards and I stepped right on a carpenter nail that went plumb through my boot into my foot. Then I took another step sideways and stepped onto another nail that went into my other foot. Despite the pain I wound up finishing my shift and even volunteered to work 2nd shift somewhere else after signing a waiver.
About halfway through that shift I had to go home as I couldn't walk anymore. I wound up having to see a foot specialist and my ship date for basic training had to be moved back a month. I didn't really mind that too much though, as it allowed me to watch the Bengals first playoff game in 14 years.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
