Description
It was just a couple of years ago that archaeologists searched the parking next to Tropicana Field for graves from Oaklawn Cemetery.
But nearly 50 years ago when FDOT crews were building this interstate, they found bones.
And despite all of the redevelopment that's going to happen in this area, FDOT tells me it has no current plan to search for graves.
