Good Job..... I love when Chicago history remembered.....

[@FreyzelProductions]

Thank you. Me too, Chicago history is fascinating.

[@lisablake5328]

Love this history. Thank you for doing this. Take care

[@FreyzelProductions]

This was a fun one 😁. Have a great weekend!

[@marthareyes4024]

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

[@FreyzelProductions]

Thank you very much 😀. I know how that feels but tomorrow is always a new day!

[@scottrider641]

Marvelous video Thanks for bringing this content to us

[@uhlijohn]

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.

[@allenesnofour]

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.

[@casssmith2610]

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.

[@kevinhensley4643]

Very informative, thank you for sharing

[@thetraveler2561]

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.

[@FreyzelProductions]

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

[@thetraveler2561]

Great presentation though man.. I never visited this particular cemetery. Enjoyed it very much so. I grew up watching Ernie Banks. @@FreyzelProductions

[@Johnny-xw7mf]

I agree with you

[@anniemika6171]

Thanks for this!

[@sammycrangle1000]

Brilliant video thank you

[@TexasTrosper]

Excellent video!

[@terryaustin9114]

Fantastic Video

[@davidtaylor328]

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. 👍🏻🪙👍🏻

[@mmbell]

Super interesting 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤

[@maryrockford2894]

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

[@CathyHendrix1]

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!

[@FreyzelProductions]

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

[@rony.3836]

Danial Burnam Island is really cool too. If I remember correctly, the bottom of the small lake/pond was lined with broken up tombstones.

[@Kihsiimawa]

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.

[@markashworth8353]

Interesting

[@ira1ish]

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

[@rony.3836]

This is a cemetery I spent a lot of time in riding bicycles during my youthful days in the 1960's, I lived close by. One time us kids found a depression in a grass mound by the Montrose wall. We made the hole larger to see what made the depression. It turned out to be a metal window frame buried over with broken windows in the frame. The earth was escaping into the broken windows making the depression. We dug the grass and dirt out large enough to get our bodies through. It turned out to be a sub terranean masonry restroom, one for men and one for women. Each had a very old pedestal lavatory and a toilet with a high up wall mounted flush tank complete with pull chains.

[@FreyzelProductions]

That is incredible!

[@DTM-Books]

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.

[@halross3447]

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.

[@DTM-Books]

@@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 :)

[@Kihsiimawa]

They are residents; they keep the goose population down.

[@Kihsiimawa]

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

[@chastityduarte1770]

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

[@georgeOswald-j6o]

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

[@mikeomalley5407]

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.

[@JeffreyGlover65]

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

[@tomlichnofsky.7048]

RIP To All that Have passed away since 😔🍁

[@chastityduarte1770]

THIS WAS TWENTY NINE YEARS GUYS.

[@kayhenderson3492]

Well, except for Kate Warne, this completely ignores the powerful and famous women buried at Graceland. If you want more information about the cemetery, its’ original design and status as the Cemetery of Architects as well as the graves it holds, I would be happy to assist in your edits.

[@courtyk7118]

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

[@debrariccio-dc2sj]

You've got Kate Warne's dates wrong.

[@chastityduarte1770]

PEOPLE I KNOW YOU WANT ME TWO GO TWO SLEEP BUT I GO TO BED AT NINE A CLOCK.
