Oh man, this really sucks. I've been looking forward to this and it just so happens to be on a day I've already had plans on for months. Ugh. Depending on timing and whatnot, I might be able to make it, but probably not. :/
-
As lond as I'm not in Arizona at that time (tickets for SOME weekend in May pending!), I will be there. che
-
Count me in but I no longer live 5 minutes away from BGC. I'm near Harlem & Irving Park shopping mall. If anyone can pick me up, that would be great.
-
That's awesome! If I'm not working that day I'll go for sure.
-
Wee! Wee! I just hope that I don't run into my ex. She lives VERY close to BGC.
-
BAH. My tickets are booked for Phoenix... I'll be gone from the 1st thru the 3rd. :X
-
Too bad, I was looking forward to meeting you, MM.

Hahaha... Ask Ghost about what meeting me entails (if he can remember through a JD-filled haze...) ROFL
-
MM: I'm sure you're a good person.
-
FYI:
THERE'S WAYS TO GET TO BGC ON PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION & HERE'S THE DETAILS:
PACE BUS # 386 WILL GET ONE TO HARLEM & MIDLOTHIAN TURNPIKE. THIS ONE CAN BE GOTTEN @ HARLEM & ARCHER (Resruretion Mary, anyone?).
PACE BUS # 383 WILL GET ONE TO CICERO & MIDLOTHIAN TURNPIKE. THIS ONE CAN BE TAKEN FROM CTA'S TRAIN/BUS TERMINAL @ MIDWAY AIRPORT

I can't RSVP for sure on this, but I will try to make it! Poobah, if you remember, could you text me the night before so I don't forget? I'm having one heck of a time keeping track of myself lately.... ;)
-
Too bad I can't make it! :(
-
I cannot make it, but I'm very interested in the results. Looking forward to the pictures and posts after the cleanup!
-
What time are we meeting?
-
What time are we meeting?
Around 11:00 I'm thinking.........However I'll be there earlier I'm sure. Just send me a PM if you want to be out there earlier and let me know what time.
If anyone needs directions to the graveyard from Rubio Woods Forest Preserve be sure to let me know.
-
Sounds good to me!
-
Thank you for those of you that showed up today, we got quite a bit done. We filled dozens of bags full of trash, plus it looks like we might get the forest preserve people to do the rest.
Thanks again for all that helped bo

Great Job everyone.....I am so proud of what you guys did. I again have to apologize for not being able to be there but I was doing other volunteer works for the day. I was working a health fair that was doing free testings for the community
-
Good Show you guys. You should be very proud. Sorry I couldn't make it. My most humble apologies. I am just way too far away and not enough gas $ too. emb
-
It was a good time, I wish I could have stayed longer!
-
That picture says it all Ghost we filled up more bags this go round than the last cleanup
according to Pete. If we go back in a month like Pete was saying we can get the trail finished and all the junk will be gone. ;)
-
The cleanup SHOULD be a seasonal thing, at least. Once or twice every season.
-
Congrats to you guys! That is VERY nice of all of you! che Did punks used to vandalize BG? I hope the cops catch them! I'm sorry I couldn't help out.
-
I think you are right and a couple of time is a very good idea. If any of us should go there for a visit we should bring a bag with us and pick up stuff we see too!
-
Yes we should bring a few garbage bags & do an impromptu cleanup. Great idea!
-
Well, it appears that the forest preserve people followed through with what I was told........I went out there today, and EVERY fallen tree had been removed from the grave yard!! :victory:
Every single tree is gone, even the huge ones. I'll post some pic's in a bit.
=D> =D> :victory:
-
Can you pull some strings and get them to retrive the stones at the bottom of the moat Qu
-
Nice job, everyone. Excellent! =D>
Is there a thread or post somewhere with info about how the trip went, what you found, how the grounds were, etc.? I've read all the posts in this one, and it sounds like it was a mess with dread shrubs and trees. How's the pond/moat thingie? Any stories?

Not really much else to tell...... We picked up trash from inside and outside the graveyard including the long path to the graveyard and the path west of the graveyard. We filled about 2 dozen garbage bags, with everything from beer cans and bottles to hubcaps and even license plates.
We didn't do anything at all with the broken and knocked over stones (yet) As for the lagoon, we picked up ton's of trash around it.
We had quite a few people there on and off through out the entire day......It was a pretty good turn out, not really as much as I hoped for but sill very good.
The Forest Preserve workers came out about a week later and removed ALL the fallen trees from the entire graveyard including the fence & tombstones . All in all it's 100% better. :victory: But we aren't done yet!

I was just as Bachelor's earlier. To those who cleaned it up, AMAZING job. Haven't seen it look that great in a LONG time =D>
-
Bumping..... just for the halibut.
Heh. :)
-
The reason Rachael bumped this is because there is a very jealous little man on another website that posted something that says he setup this whole May 2nd cleanup and we had nothing to do with it.......... eno
I set it up then asked if he would like to join in and both of our groups would do it. Then we picked a day that worked for both of us. I let him get the permit because he has done it in the past and was familiar with it. Now I hear he's saying that he got the permit so that proves he set it all up......This is not true and he knows it. Enough is enough, I'm washing my hands of this jealous little man.
I'm leaving it at that, and not going to mention names. Just read the first post that started this thread and it will show you how it started.
The reason I started this site was to share information, stories and pictures about Bachelors Grove Cemetery. And to also try to clean the Cemetery up a bit....Not to play childish games with other websites.
With this posting, this will be the last time he ever gets any attention from this site...may it be good or bad.

well maybe we could bribe you and have another meet and greet with goodies and pudding surprize and other edible delights. hu I vote for your circle of energy it the grove. inbetween the goodies and clean up!
-
Now i`ll beer beer beer beer to that scaryd. That would be a nice thing to do another meet and greet and cook out again. I also like the idea of Ed having the circle of energy at the Grove.
