Ya, that really sucks that they closed that tour!
We went on a family vacation a few months back, and my husband and I were able to take the tour right before it closed. I thought it was very well done, and would have recomended it to others. If anyone knows if thers an online petition, send over the site, cause i will definently sign!
: Holy cow!
: Diane Bell from the San Diego Union Tribune
: did an article about Ghosts &
: Gravestones and she mentioned me! I didn't
: think she would put my name in the paper!
: I'm too unimportant to deserve it! The
: article was in December 3rd's issue. This
: is what she wrote:
: Goodbye to 'Ghosts'
:
: Old Town Trolley Tours has laid its
: once-popular Ghosts & Gravestones tour
: to rest. After six years, operators dropped
: the tour, which highlighted area cemeteries
: and stopped at three reportedly
: "haunted" houses, where costumed
: characters of a bygone era greeted visitors.
: Lorin Stewart, the firm's general manager,
: says interest in the nightly sojourn had
: tapered off to the extent that, on some
: evenings, no tickets were sold.
:
: Sabrina Marie Johnson is such a fan of the
: tour that she is circulating a petition to
: bring it back. She has over 30 signatures.
:
: The Old Town Trolley's recorded message
: still carries a promo for "Ghosts &
: Gravestones," but Stewart says it's
: only because they are awaiting a replacement
: tape. He has no plans to resurrect
: "Ghosts."
:
: Jeez, reading that makes it seems so
: official now. It's like once something is
: in the paper, it's for real, not just a
: rumor. I'm still quite upset over the tour
: closing down, and I know in my heart the
: petition won't help get it back. It just
: shows that there are a lot of people who do
: want it back. Oh, and the signatures are
: now over 40!
:
: By the way, I've been serious about this
: whole thing all along. If, God forbid, any
: of the San Diego museums were in danger of
: closing down like this, there'd be a second
: petition for it in the works. I'd guarantee
: it!
