They supposedly called this the "Gate of Death".  It was built in 1916 by Peter Kern.  He founded the neighborhood and I lived in his house at the top of Cincinnati Street.  Apparently he was connected with some very odd Illuminati and Masonic types and lots of mystery surrounds it.  I can attest that it was a very strange place to grow up.  Very quiet.  Too quiet.  In retrospect, I think I grew up surrounded by Satan worshippers.  I did not know that at that time.  They say Peter Kern was decapitated in a ritual sacrifice underneath that sign.  It was torn down in the 1950s and I moved there in 1973 or so.

 
 
What absolute, utter drivel
