Hayward (/ˈheɪwərd/; formerly, Haywards, Haywards Station, and Haywood) is a city located in Alameda County, California in the East Bay subregion of the San Francisco Bay Area. With a 2014 population of 149,392, Hayward is the sixth largest city in the Bay Area and the third largest in Alameda County. Hayward was ranked as the 37th most populous municipality in California. It is included in the San Francisco–Oakland–Fremont Metropolitan Statistical Area by the US Census. It is located primarily between Castro Valley and Union City, and lies at the eastern terminus of the San Mateo–Hayward Bridge.

This Catholic cemetery is beautifully landscaped and well kept. Most recently, both of my parents were buried there as are many other relatives. Bordering the cemetery are vineyards where some of the grapes are used for communion wine and other varietals are bottled for sale by the Diocese. Toward the rear of the cemetery, above the vineyards, there are fields where you will often see cows grazing. It is a very peaceful environment where I visit often and sometimes take a chair and sit at my parents headstone and read or just enjoy the quiet.

While many motorists hurry to get through Hayward, the beautiful murals provide wonderful reflections when one is inevitably paused at traffic lights. This has been, in my view, a wonderful Hayward beautification project and I've enjoyed the variety of murals and painted signal boxes all over town on my daily drive.
