Still need something to do this Halloween weekend? A trip to a local historic cemetery may help get you in the spirit. Elmwood/Pinewood Cemetery, 700 W. 6th Street, Charlotte, contains the graves of some of Charlotte’s most important citizens. Textile pioneer D.A. Tompkins, developer Edward Dilworth Latta, former Charlotte mayor S. S. McNinch, and W.W. Smith, Charlotte’s first major black architect, are among those buried at this site.
