Chicago’s Graceland Cemetery

SpookyInc — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:35:54 +0000

One of my absolute favorite spots to wander any time of year is Graceland Cemetery (near Clark and Irving Park). ”…A private cemetery since its beginning, Graceland was established in 1860 by Thomas Bryan, a lawyer with a successful Chicago practice. He purchased its original 80 acres and received a perpetual charter from Illinois in 1861, and soon hired prominent landscape architect H.W.S. Cleveland to plan its park-like ambiance….”

If you haven’t wandered through, you should!

And if you can, go on one of the tours (we like the one in October of course!)

Chicago Haunts Tour

Looking for something spooky to do since the weather is so nice (relatively speaking) here in Chicago?

(It was 44 degrees today and the sun was shining… in February!!)

Anyhow, check out the Chicago Haunts Tour!

We suggest gathering a group of friends to make it even more fun!

Chicago Diner

The Chicago Diner is a yummy place to go and since so many of our spooky friends are vegetarian/vegan, it is a delicious place for everyone to hang out together!

AND they have vegan cupcakes! mmmmmmmmmm!

hmmmmmm now I might need to go there for lunch…. who is up for a meetup?

The Alley Chicago!

The Alley.

Back in the day this was *THE* spot to meet up…especially if you were under 21 (and from out of town). I met some (still) great friends there (waves hello to Zoe)…good times! And as I retire a not-so-much-black-anymore, beloved tshirt I was wondering if I could find a replacement…

YES! Only $10

If you are in Chicago check out the store in person! It is a must-see for a dark Chicago tour.

If not, online works too!

…and I believe “kids these days” still hang-out there for fun

hmmmmmm….note to self….I should really scan those old 80′s photos from hanging out on Belmont….
