- Welcome to Colma, CA, a town where the dead outnumber the living. In 2024, the town celebrated its 100 year anniversary. So along with my friend Adam of @AdamDoesNotExist, I paid Colma a visit to find out what it's like to live in a place where you're surrounded by death.

My Mom, Dad And Grandma are buried in Colma,,,, I always stop by Wyatt and Josephine Earps grave too
Joe DiMagio was born here in Martinez. The site is now a parking lot but his uncle’s house across the street where he celebrated his first marriage just sold and will hopefully be restored.
It really is such an interesting place!
We had an interesting day. Thanks for driving! 😁
Before there were parks, like Central and Golden Gate ( and before germ theory, when belief in a sickening miasma created the call for parks) cemeteries were used as parks in urban areas.
It’s no coincidence that the designer of Central Park, Frederick Law Olmstead designed the park like Mountain View cemetery in Oakland’s Piedmont district
What a cool fact. I did not know that. Thanks for sharing!
I found the cemeteries in Colma to be really beautiful and a little bit awe-inspiring too. Definitely a unique place to spend a day in the bay.
My adopted children were fostered in a home very close to Colma. I was fascinated by the town and its claim to fame.
I was particularly interested in Lilly Hitchcock Coit as Hitchcock is an old family name of mine. She and her parents were born in Baltimore, where my family settled in the 1600s, so chances are high that we are distantly related.
That's a great T-shirt! ❤😊
You can actually buy one if you want from the Colma Historical Assocation. Here's a link (not sponsored btw 😊) www.colmahistory.com/shop/

Yay! You're back!! I am looking forward to the videos coming out... 1 in particular ;)
