The Robles-Bourquardez Cemetery is a tiny place with all
of 22 people buried there. It seems long forgotten, and sadly neglected. With the old oak trees serving as an umbrella, the
brick walls are crumbling and the moss has begun to take over. Some stones lay next to their
pedestals, while some are simply missing. Just a foot from a busy road, it goes unnoticed...
The cemetery is located in Tampa, Hillsborough Co., Florida, on Sligh Avenue.
Off of I-275, head east on Sligh Ave. The cemetery is located on the left, about
a block before 30th Street.
