Houdini's Gravesite

Posted DateFriday, December 16, 2011 at 06:15PM by AuthorJohn Huntington |

Since I was a teenager, I've been fascinated by Houdini. I knew he was buried in Queens, and today, I finally made it to his gravesite, and got to see the new bust that a group called the "Houdini Commandos" installed back in September.  They are raising funds for the upkeep of the site; I donated and you can too.  Below are a few photos; more here.
