New Mount Sinai Cemetery? Cool! That has always been a fascinating place to me - a Jewish cemetery, which lets a Catholic church (St. George, which also deserves historic status) next door use part of its grounds for its ballfields, and is across Gravois from a Lutheran church (Salem Lutheran - Missouri Synod). And there even used to be a Masonic lodge a few doors down.

My grandma lived on Heege, and until part of the cemetery was sold in the early 1990s to build the Weber Terrace subdivision, her house backed to the cemetery fence.
