I'm not sure if Greenbriar has a similar cemetery, but the best known example is in Dekalb County, and is the Crowley Family cemetery. It's in the parking lot of the empty Avondale Mail (originally Columbia Mall) at the intersection of Memorial Drive and Columbia Drive just south of both Avondale Estates and Decatur. I've got some writing about it (and a few photos) on my blog at http://larryfeltonjohnson.typepad.com/atlantalarry/2005/01/crowley_graves_.html Larry On Fri, Sep 09, 2005 at 03:12:02PM -0500, Wesley Gann wrote: > I believe you may be referring to Greenbriar Mall.
