On my lunch hour today I decided to visit a grave site in Dallas. Not the grave of a friend or family member but the grave site of one of America's most notorious outlaws, Bonnie Parker. Yes, that Bonnie.. of Bonnie & Clyde.
Her grave is located in a small cemetery not far from Love Field in Dallas. It took me a few minutes to find the grave as it is somewhat hidden by a hedgerow and as you can see, it is not a very prominent tombstone at all. What struck me the most about the tombstone was what was written on it. By reading it you would never know that she was the female half of one of the most notorious crime duos in the history of the United States and had become a legend.
Clyde Barrow's grave is some 20 miles away in another part of the Dallas area.

As I was leaving the grave site a car pulled up with a young couple in it. They stopped and asked if I knew where the grave of Bonnie Parker was located. I just pointed to it and they parked the car to visit the grave themselves. We're still fascinated by the infamous years after they have departed this world.
