In dead folks news, Scouting NY made the pilgrimage out to "The Cemetery Belt" in Glendale, Queens, and visited the grave of one Harry Houdini. The magician's monument is incredible (complete with a statue of a weeping woman slumped over a bench), but the coolest part is probably the gorgeous Society of American Magicians mosaic. For watchers of HBO's Boardwalk Empire, the nearby uninspiring memorial for Houdini's brother Hardeen should provide a chuckle. [Scouting NY]
