Arlington National Cemetery wants people to stop catching Pikachu on its hallowed ground; Washington Post, 7/12/16

Thomas Gibbons-Neff, Washington Post; Arlington National Cemetery wants people to stop catching Pikachu on its hallowed ground:

"“We do not consider playing ‘Pokémon Go’ to be appropriate decorum on the grounds of [Arlington National Cemetery]. We ask all visitors to refrain from such activity,” the cemetery’s Twitter account said Tuesday afternoon...

Arlington National Cemetery is the final resting place for more than 400,000 veterans and their families, according to the cemetery’s website. The cemetery holds funeral services Monday through Saturday at a rate of 3,000 per year. Many of the fallen from the United States’ recent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are buried in Section 60, their graves often adorned with their photos, notes from loved ones and empty beer bottles left by comrades.

The cemetery, in addition to discouraging Pokémon Go playing, also frowns upon running, bicycle riding and horseplay throughout its grounds."
