I’m going to Chicago in about a week and a half… I’m very excited about this long over due trip to the windy city… With that said right now I’m scrambling hard to finish up obtaining the locations in the cemeteries of various gangsters I’m planning on taking pictures of… I’ve pretty much have Mt. Carmel to work on now

For the most part the cemetery staff at the office have been very helpful in looking up the info for me over the phone… It makes my job a lot easier so then that way all I have to do when I get to the cemetery is just ask to get a map of the cemetery and an enlarged map of the various sections the gangsters are buried in…

The only thing I’m frustrated about is that I’ve been trying to obtain the location of Fred Goetz aka Shotgun Ziegler it was rumored that he had something to do with the St. Valentines Day Massacre… I called Irving Park Cemetery and they sent me to Rosehill cemetery… Rosehill cemetery flat out told me if I’m not a relative or friend of the deceased I can’t obtain the location this was after I told them who I was looking for… I even told the lady on the phone I was doing research…

Needless to say other than the two incidents at Rosehill, and Irving Park I’ve been very fortunate with the help I’ve been getting from the cemeteries… And here I thought Mt. Carmel cemetery was gonna be a pain in my royal ass to deal with… The thing is though is that if your nice and don’t bombard the staff with a gazilion names I’m sure it wouldn’t be a problem…
