A Rhode Island man’s Halloween display features tombstones in his front yard, but with a twist -- they pay tribute not to people, but to the dearly departed businesses in the New England area.
Joshua Patenaude, of Smithfield, has a collection of tombstones at 71 Dean Ave. that local residents will view with nostalgia., they include birth and death dates for nationally known businesses like Radio Shack , Toys R Us and Sears .Local and regional favorites also dot the graveyard: Ann & Hope , Christmas Tree Shops , Almacs , Benny’s and Rocky Point , according to the television station.
Patenaude also stays current with “dead” businesses. His marker for Toys R Us has a pair of hands coming out of the ground in front of the tombstone because it is “coming back from the dead.”“I thought it was a cool way to pay respects in a creative way that hopefully everyone else could enjoy,” he toldWalmart to be closed on Thanksgiving Day
