At the beginning, 0:20-22, in the short distance you can see a black granite bench. That is my gravesite (unused to this point!) I've led many tours through the cemetery over the years because it is so beautiful and a great walk through Chicago history.

Just caught this tonight as I fell asleep early last night,

Born and raised in Chicago moved to the suburbs when I was kid. Worked downtown all my life retired now. These men built Chicago and other great people which have had monuments desecrated or taken down.. Most of these men have streets named after them and I even worked in some of their buildings and been in others. I would not take a step into Chicago anymore. It is a very dark place now. Just not what it used to be.

I have visited Graceland many times....it is atmospheric and it oozes with beauty, history and art. A great short work published by the Chicago chapter of the AIA is entitled "A Walk Through Graceland Cemetery". I highly recommend it.

I grew up just across the big lake from Chicago, my uncle had several businesses there after WWII. So we spent a lot of time in that city. I never really knew much about the ppl who shaped it so this is wonderful to watch, thank you.

The Eternal Silence Statue - I will be honest here, I would Definitely Look into The Statues eyes especially at night ( if I could get in The Cemetery then ) & wait to see if anything good or bad happens.
Or to find out if The Legend is True.
This Video is GOLD & I Love it. 👍🏻🪙👍🏻

Marshall Field’s was my famous store. Still miss it.

A couple of noteworthy facts:

Schöenhofen also invented Green River soda pop.

Palmer is credited with the grid system of city streets. He also fought the city all the way to his death to keep the lakefront free of development. Montgomery Ward continued the fight after his death.

Louis Sullivan died penniless and an alcoholic. His friends and colleagues paid for that monument.

THIS CEMETERY HIGHSCHOOL AND MIDDLESCHOOL WAS HERE FROM SIXTEEN YEARS AGO.

There is a coyote den at Graceland; they are groundskeepers of sorts in that they keep the goose population in check.

What an interesting video. Thanks for taking us along. Could you take us to see some of the Chicago Christmas decorations? I love the last video you did with decorations and would love to see some of the city decor. Hope you have a great weekend and God bless!

across the street in Wunderlich cemetery and next to that is Graceland Jewish cemetery beautiful Graceland has daily /wknd tours

Why were so many of the great Chicago legends, who I assume lived in downtown, Hyde Park or Pullman neighborhoods, buried in Graceland on the northern edge of Chicago? It makes sense Ernie Banks is buried in Wrigleyville.

[JeffreyGlover]

Just read The Devil In The White City. Many prominent people from Chicago who are in the book are buried at Graceland

I think that the statues of Inez Clark and Lulu Fellows are identical except for what each is holding.

Great video, I have yet to find a few of these famous tombstones. Am I also the only one who is a little spooked by all the coyote sightings? I’m hoping they really are ghosts, because the idea that packs of wolves are just wandering the streets of Chicago is a lot to bear, hah.

RIP To All that Have passed away since 😔🍁

[courtyk]

John Wayne gacys family is there I think’s along with him
