Plans To Build Day Care Over Historic Graveyard Prompts Outrage

Plans To Build Day Care Over Historic Graveyard Prompts Outrage
Cemetery Was Part Of Church Destroyed By Fire

SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. -- Approved plans to build a children's day care center over a historic cemetery in Seminole County has prompted outrage in the community.

The Seminole County Planning and Zoning Board approved Bright Horizons' proposal Wednesday night to eventually bulldoze the Paola Historical Cemetery located near Heathrow.

The cemetery was part of a Presbyterian church that burned down in the late 1800s.

It is believed there are at least a dozen people buried at the site but no one knows exactly how many.

...

"When (children) come home and say, 'Mommy, Mommy, there's bones under our day care,' that's going to upset everybody," resident Cindy Crain said.

9. I was going to say "a bad Sci Fi Channel movie"

But I decided that wasn't necessary.

3. Don't these people watch movies, at all?

If this isn't the opening sequence in a horror flick, I don't know what is! Sheesh...

6. Coming this Halloween....

Cradle to Grave!!!

It was like any other day care.

(sound of children singing nursery rhyme in the background slowed way down)

Shots of kids on swings, playing with blocks, laughing...

The camera tracks out into the play yard, past the kids, past the swings, past the jungle gym and settles on the sand box.

A decomposed hand suddenly reaches out and grabs at the air...

Cradle to Grave. This Holloween...
