I live just a few blocks away from there and have passed it while on my rollerblades...I've never been inclined to enter the gates, however.

I'm reading The Devil in the White City now and wish I still lived near Chicago. (Grew up in Elgin).

I am thinking of taking a visit to Graceland Cemetery, here in Chicago. I have been inspired to do so, after reading "The Devil In The White City", by Erik Larson.

There are a lot of stories about that cemetary that are unique and interesting, there is a book that i read called haunted chicago and there are many stories about that cemetary in it. Also a very rich man named mr.pullman, he designed and built railroad cars is buried there. He was a very selfish man and when he died he was buried with lots of jewels, gold and money so no one else could have his fortune. But the funny and odd thing is that to make sure no one robbed his grave his casket was put in several cases i believe the final one made out of steel so on one could get into it.
