Wunder’s Cemetery

Huge variety of dead people here! They have women, children, men, blacks, Mexicans, polacks, and ginadaloons! They don’t discrete! When I croak hopefully I’ll be lucky enough to be thrown in a hole at Wunder’s!

I discovered this delicate sweet lovely old cemetery while on a bike ride. I love the idea of biking in Chicago, but due to a recent dooring event I’m a little too rattled to actually ride far and often on Chicago streets. There’s not many cemeteries you can pedal through in Chgo, but you can here!
Very old tombstones and grave markers here. Patches of wildflowers and some creepy stuff like a junked out old station wagon, right out of Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This space is also an exquisite small wildlife sanctuary. Visit on a warm spring morning or a fall afternoon on your bike… nothing makes me feel more alive than a visit with the dead!

Is it strange to rate a cemetery? Ah, well, I’m strange so why not.
I’ve never been inside this cemetery but it does offer some advantages.
1) My boyfriend’s condo backs up to the cemetery. Having this outside of his window offers a great view for when I’m feeling pensive. Also, parking is amazing on Seminary! I attribute this to the fact that dead people don’t drive.
2) Creatures great and small make their homes in the cemetery. And I ain’t just talking about the dead people. I’ve seen black squirrels, grey squirrels, some sort of black hens and yes, a coyote. The coyote is still roaming the cemetery even after the storms almost knocked down the fence. I love it when the coyote taunts the dogs as they walk by. It also howls when sirens of emergency vehicles are going off nearby. Legend has it there are two coyotes roaming the cemetery, but I’ve only seen one.
