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.

Really enjoyed watching this. You do great work. Just caught this tonight as I fell asleep early last night, 😪 Hard day at work.

Thank you. Me too, Chicago history is fascinating.

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.

Brilliant video thank you

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

Thanks for this!

Fantastic Video

Excellent video!

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.

So much history in Chicago. The downtown area is still decent but none of it is the way it once was sadly.

I agree with you

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.

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

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

RIP To All that Have passed away since 😔🍁

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!

I am hoping to get down there before the end of the season. 🤞 have a great weekend!

Interesting

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

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.

I walk Graceland frequently. Great place to get some exercise while enjoying the landscape. Usually see two or three coyotes during a visit. They do their thing and mind their business. Occasionally, one will trot past me on the pathway, get several yards in front of me, stop and turn around to stare at me, and just continue on its way. I’ve never felt threatened by them.

@@halross3447 The one coyote I’ve seen appears to be pretty mellow. He’s no doubt used to humans and is just waiting for someone to leave snacks, like a cheeseburger or a rabbit :)
