Correction: It's McCovey Cove, not Bay. Thanks for the heads up guys!
Another wonderful video!! Thank you!! Also!! Thank you so much for avoiding going deeper into politics (regarding at least 1 of the people touched in this video). Your respect is so very appreciated!!!😁
The last part was super cool eating ghirardelli chocolate at the ghirardelli Gave site awesome!!!! Also I don’t get why at cemeteries they have naked statues like the one at the beginning of the video with the boobs hanging out 🤦🏼♀️😂
Arthur, you just ventured into my neck of the woods! I have many family members buried at Mountain View Cemetery in Oakland. I have also been to Elizabeth Short's grave which is there. In fact, the last time we were there, we heard some really strange noises. How I wished you had gone right next door to the Chapel of the Chimes! That's where my own future final resting place is. My parents are there. It's a beautiful, Gothic looking columbarium that was designed by Julia Morgan whose best work was Hearst Castle. Also, My great-grandmother was one of those graves evicted out of San Francisco and moved to Olivet Cemetery. I really enjoyed this video!
Thank you for correctng that! The Ghiardelli dark chcoloate squares with the mint filling are my favorite.
Love your cemetery tours, keep them coming.
DiMaggio is actually my moms maiden name and Joe (the baseball player), is my grandpa’s first cousin. We have a bunch of family pictures with him as well.
Now THAT IS Very Cool, Kim!!🌸
That is very cool
Wow i hope your family were able to keep all his memorabilia
Do you have some with Marilyn Monroe as well? Cool to have personal photos of a big baseball player as Joe DiMaggio.
That's really cool! I love the story of him leaving flowers. I think the flower shop where he purchased them is gone now but they used to have his photo in it.
Well at least you paid tribute to Ghirardelli by having some of his chocolates at his burial site. Nice gesture to the man who made the world a little sweeter.
Finally you visit Shirley Temple. My favorite child actress. Her death hit me hard. Rest In Peace Shirley 💔🥺
Mine too. She was quite talented. I loved it when she danced. I get called Curly Top, I have those blonde curls. My brothers call me Shirley Temple to this day. LOL
5:27 is Shirley's location in video. May she rest in peace!
My father was her childhood friend as well as later on when she married John Agar. Mom knew her too double dating with them. They were both happy for her when she married Mr. Black.
Yes up until this point I’ve been waiting for him to visit Shirley Temple
Me too and I would love to meet her when she was still alive
I cracked up when he said “No” to the elevator LOL
Too dark in there for me, I'll take the stairs.
lol
@@kellygirlajBut is it darker than Arthur's last name? 🤔🤣
"back when MTV played music...." 😁😉🤘 love your wittiness Arthur!
Yeah that was good
"This is Joe Carcione, your green grocer, with your tip for the day!"
Yes.
I remember him.
I watched him film one of his shows way back when :)
I came across this video by accident. Fascinating! Carcione has been gone since 1988. Where does the time go? Many of these celebrities, at least it seems to me, didn't have very long lives. Or, is it just me thinking we have all the time in the world.
Arthur, I’ve really enjoyed your videos over the years. I just wanted to give you a little info on David Packard. He donated the money to build the current Children’s Hospital at Stanford building in memory of his wife, Lucille Salter Packard. Within this hospital, the Doobie Brothers donated a theater for the entertainment of the sick children, and they would occasionally give performances to the children in that theater.
Please continue making these videos! I look forward to them. They are a wonderful tribute to the people who have given us so much. They shouldn’t be forgotten. Thanks.
I didn’t know Joe DiMaggio sent flowers to Marilyn’s grave for so many years. Very sweet little fact to include.
He loved her so much
I think George Burns brought flowers to Gracie Allen's grave every month for decades.
Elizabeth Shorts story is such a tragic one, she'll never get the justice she deserves.
When your last name is shortt 👁👄👁
Yeah. I know. Unfortunately, the one(s) responsible for it most likely have passed away. Including anyone who who had knowledge of this.
@@j_mack1996 Too bad they didn’t keep the evidence intact they probably could have solved it by using decedents of suspects. She sure deserved better
Let us pray she got the justice in the next life that she was denied in this life.
@@crystallewis6364 . You're related. I hope you get that also.
It is sad to see all the episodes. So many talented people, doing what they do, just to give us a smile & a good feeling. They didn't do it for the money only. They did it because they loved it! To entertain us & make life a better place.
See Steve Jobs's burial & the crow makes me feel weak. No matter how rich, smart, & creative you are, you will back as dust in the ground.
Death, my dear, is the great equalizer.
@Snow Monkey true, death is evidence of God's existence.
Yes we all end up in the same place
That one was the most striking for me. The fact that there wasn’t a gravestone. A man that could afford the best, biggest, largest and grand… in the end chose nothing (or his family did).
All men good or bad in the end must come to dust.
"This is Joe Carcione, the Green Grocer, with your tip for the day"
What a blast from the past!
Joe DiMaggio's last words were apparently now at last i can finally see Marilyn! 🙏
I was in Las Vegas for a business meeting in the early 80's. I also lived in North Beach at the time although he lived I believe in the Marina district. Anyway I was headed up to my room (don't remember the hotel) the door of the elevator opened and there he was (with couple of body guards). I'm not a baseball fan but certainly recognized him. Didn't say anything to him as I thought it would be unfair considering we were prisoners in an elevator. But I did think of MM.
Yes, he want to remarry her.. He wasn't handsome enough but his wives are beautiful women.
@@ladyarthuria There are a lot of Very rich talented homely men that are married to beautiful women. Think it has to do with money or charisma.
@@63bplumb it has to with charisma and confidence, with those two .
Women love e to date with confidence charisma and humor too !
Those stained glass ceilings are beautiful. How peaceful to rest for eternity beneath them.
I find it ironic that the occupants probably never saw the beauty.
@@jsivna apparently you haven’t read any of the Bible . If you are saved when Jesus returnes your body will leave the grave changed forever. Now fit for Heaven if saved you will reside for eternity safe with Jesus.
this guy is a great story teller
He has a little help from Wikipedia
The saddest words ever... "and that concludes our tour." Wonderfully done as always, Mr. Dark!!!
Call hin Arthur!
Right????
I’m always sad at the end but look on the flip side the rewind is close by! Peace out.✌️ 🥸😎
I knew Shirley when she was just a Lilo girl
Actually, I’m not sad because that means more of my favorites have passed. 😔🙏🏿
Now we know where Joe DiMaggio has gone.
Hahah very clever.
I knew that someone was going to say that.
Yes true...
Zing!
Koo Koo cha Chu, Mrs. Robinson.
This just made my Monday.... hope you’re well Arthur 🌺😎
My favorite is Gharadellie peppermint bark that comes out around Christmas.
I have one left from Christmas. I need to get it out in honor of this video.
😍🎄💯
That one my favorite too. I want to try more of his chocolates🍫. Any recommendations?
As a Russian myself, i want to thank you for featuring the grave of my fellow countryman Savely Kramarov. He is one of the greatest Soviet actors, loved by millions in his homeland. ♥️🇷🇺
Papua new gilnea
My world stops every time there is a new video they always made me hooked up
Im with you! I could watch these all day.
Me too I want see a rapper in the next hollywood graveyard tour
Same here
Mine too! It’s like Christmas came early. I love this channel. It’s done so well and in such good taste.

Tennessee Ernie Ford was born in Bristol, Tn.
His home was bought and restored as it appeared when he was born.
You can tour it.
I was there about 15 years ago.
Yes it was, it is a block from my grand father's brothers house. Ernie ford was a cousin to my great grandmother
I was fortunate enough to have attended a concert by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra where Calvin Simmons was the guest conductor. This was shortly before his tragic death in in 1982. I will never forget the wonderful performance of the Saint-Saens Organ Symphony and the impression this talented conductor made on myself and the audience. It was just a few months later that I learned he had drowned...
Thank you for visiting Alta Mesa Cemetery. My parents are buried three rows behind David Packard, so you showed my parents' monument in the video. Actually, my grave is there are well, so not everyone can say their saw their grave on Hollywood Graveyard!
Talking to a cemetery groundskeeper, I learned that the day of Steve Job's funeral, all the cemetery workers were replaced by Apple Employees and Security. I visit my parents' grave often and am familiar with the Oak Grove section, but , I never found fresh burials. There were other reports that Jobs was buried under a tree in the apricot orchard part of the cemetery. Too bad it wasn't an apple tree.
How truly sad and pathetic to be so consumed with paranoia to fire lowly-paid cemetery workers (gravediggers for crying out loud) to bury your filthy rich husband in secrecy. Was STEVE JOBS family worried his fucking corpse would be dug up and held for RANSOM?!! Delusions of grandeur anyone? They should have just had him cremated and kept his ashes in the privacy of their own home as I have done with my own mother who died in 1997.
I’m thinking he was placed in a locked unmarked mausoleum.
@@trumancapote9097 'Truman', take a deep breath.
"And all your money won't another minute buy. Dust in the Wind, all we are is dust in the wind."
@@trumancapote9097 I didn't say they were fired, just replaced for the day. I didn't ask if they were paid for the time off as that wasn't my business. Those of us who have graves here were relieved that this cemetery didn't turn into a tourist attraction for visitors see his grave marker. As it is, people from other countries have come and asked. The cemetery has a book for people to sign to show their respects.
I can’t get enough of these. You truly are the best at this. Such respect and dignity for the deceased.
Clicked straight away! Best show on UA-cam! 😀❤️
Absolutely!
I like how these videos are filmed and presented like a tv show. I like that we not only are shown the graves/cemeteries and photos of those who died but are given information about their lives and how they died (when known). It's all very enjoyable and I appreciate it a lot.
Futher down south on El Camino Real towards and in the city of San Bruno is Admiral Chester A. Nimitz who served in WWII and WWI veteran Percy Kilbride who starred as Pa Kettle with Marjorie Main as both veterans are resting at the Golden Gate National cemetery..
The two National Cemeteries (Golden Gate and San Francisco) would have been an excellent addition!
Thank you for featuring so many unsung heroes, smaller actors and trailblazers who often get overshadowed by more well known names. Its nice to hear their stories and learn about the impact they had on their respective industries.
Incredible, if I wasn't feeling so ill I would have enjoyed it much more. But still a incredible blast to the past. Shirley Temple will forever be America's first and foremost darling little icon of the silver screen.
Thank you for featuring the grave of Abigail Folger, a fellow social worker. She died so tragically that ill fated night of August 9th, 1969. May she rest in peace. 😢
23:52 The young girl statue
Faintly in the back you can see the picture of my Family with my cousin before he passed away at 2 months
I live right behind cypress lawn Born and raised i Visit the cemetery often never knew how many famous & important people were buried there Thank you soo much im a big fan never miss a episode
Arthur you put a lot of time into these video's and i can say we do appreciate it too :0)
Greetings from the Emerald Isle Mr Dark and my fellow Hollywood Graveyard legion. This has just made my night and saved me from the boredom of Covid lockdown.
I have to get back into making videos but I have a 'ghost channel'. I saw your handle.👍 👻💖
Thank you especially for Calvin Simmons. I am a classical music choral singer and had the great pleasure and privilege of singing under his baton once at LA's Greek Theater. That was close to 50 years ago, but I will never forget his talent and humor. It still hurts my heart that he is gone.
Steve Jobs could have lived, but he refused any type of medical help until it was too late. Imagine having all that money and turning down help from doctors and such. Another great vid, thanx dude.
I know. That made me sad about Steve Jobs.
He made his mark by doing things differently in life.
Then when he does things differently leading to his death, everyone becomes a critic.
If he did things the conventional way, yes, he'd be alive. But he would be living that life in utter obscurity.
There would never have been an Apple. And you'd never have heard the name Steve Jobs.
Nobody survives Pancreatic cancer
So well done. It's hard to explain to others why this is such a great channel but if they give it 1 minute, they get it.
Crap... this just popped up on my phone. Looked at how long it was and almost cried...lol
I leave for work in 10min but look forward to after work.
Now to get through work..😆
Usually this happens to me too. But with my car out of action, and I use my car for work, I find myself with a rare day off. Enjoy this was one of my favourite videos.
But you have something to look forward to.
@@LJBSullivan watched it at 230am after work.. 😆
Thank you for visiting the sites. I grew up in San Francisco and I never knew how many iconic figures have their final resting place in the Bay Area. You sir are awesome
Mac Dre’s grave was a hidden gem - I’m glad now others will get the chance to visit; thanks for coming to my hometown, Mr. Dark!
💯✌🏾
My monday night has just gotten better!
This may be morbid to some, but is interesting never the less. You have to be in the mood for a clip like this. I adored Shirley Temple as a child. I actually felt sad when Shirley passed away. When people ask me who I thought the greatest MOVIE STAR was I always say SHIRLEY TEMPLE.
My old band played a few shows with No Use.. back in the early 2000s. Had no idea Tony died. What a trip.
The research you do is incredible!
Woot woot!!! Hollywood graveyards has a new video 🤘🏻
That was just wonderful! I live in the Bay Area and didn’t know that any of those folks are so nearby!!!! THANK YOU!❤️
I’m 20 years old now , but I remember my first Shirley Temple move was The little princess. I asked my mother who was the cute little girl with the curls and she told me about Shirley Temple. She was my childhood and still can’t believe she is gone. RIP Shirley temple, you will always be the adorable curly hair girl.
If Emperor Norton ran for President today on the Dissolve (or at least Streamline) Congress platform, I'd vote for him in a heartbeat. 😀
Wyatt Earp in a Jewish cemetery. Thanks for the explanation. I would never have known.
I was surprised to see Eddie Fisher in a non-Jewish mausoleum at 23:27. Perhaps I’m mistaken. It doesn’t really matter if you’re dead, does it?
Back in the 1920's, the southeast part of San Francisco was the center of the silent film industry, which is one of the reasons so many silent film stars are buried in nearby Colma.
Another person buried in Colma is Adolph Spreckels, who was a San Francisco sugar magnate. He was the original "Sugar Daddy" because he was very wealthy and married a much younger woman.
Charlie Chaplin filmed some silent movies in the Niles section of Fremont. It's the only claim to fame that Fremont has ever had.
@@megmcguigan3857 There was a Japanese Am ice skater and Pitcher for A's, Cubs and Red Sox. He pitched when A's won earthquake series. I think Bronco Billy was there in Niles too.
His wife Alma Spreckels was the model for the statue which is atop the victory column at the center of Union Square in SF. She also donated the funds to build the Legion of Honor museum near the GG bridge to which she donated much of her art collection including her many sculptures by Rodin.
Ah, Ghirardelli chocolate!
As always, you have excellent taste, my dear!
Shirley Temple and Joe Carccione. Memories.
Thank you so much for including Maestro Calvin Simmons. I remember the day he disappeared, having played in his orchestras. We were all devastated. He was a Prince, a comedian, and a fabulous musician.
Music compositions just amazing 👏👍🏻
Love Aunt Pitty Pat... nice seeing her resting place... Gone With the Wind is my favorite
I looove your videos!! Sending love from Sweden 🇸🇪
It doesn’t matter what time! Hollywood Graveyard is it for me!
Thank you for finding Vince Guaraldi's grave. I would love to go there myself and pay my respects, but it's rather hard to get away, at least for now. He's one of my all-time favorite musicians.
Gosh, those old crypts from the 20’s/30’s are beautiful!
I take it back ...This guy tells the best story ever...and he doesn't bring politics into his tales !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WELCOME BACK, ARTHUR! YOU WERE MISSED. GREAT PRESENTATION AS ALWAYS!
I’ve been watching for about 3 years now, and I’m still loving these videos you make. Very interesting to know things that I haven’t known yet
My mom passed last year. She adored Peanuts, so the bit about their songwriter, made me so happy.
Also, I learn A LOT from these videos!
Please keep posting as often as possible! Your narration is perfect!
I was in Colma on the 5th checking out the cemeteries there. I didn’t realize how many famous people were buried at all of those cemeteries.
Loved seeing Tennessee Ernie Ford’s resting place. I would never have guessed he was buried in San Francisco. Hope you enjoyed the Ghirardelli chocolate. You haven’t given up Reese’s cups, have you? 😀
I was surprised at that too.
This definitely makes this freezing Monday, without electricity, and in a cold 40 degree house in Houston, much much better.
If you use a brick base and make a small 'chimmey' of bricks with an opening at the bottom, like a small chimmey and put a thick candle in it it will produce a nice way of giving you heat. Just be carefull.
A little Army trick we used to keep warm. 👍👻
It was -37 degrees this morning in Ely Mn.....
Sorry your state doesn't protect its power grid. In minnesota it's a must.
I have become a devotee of your channel and I am fascinated by the tales of those who have passed...some a more recent ending while others long ago...I especially enjoy learning about those actors/ actresses whom I always wondered about....thank you for your dillengence to your quests in uncovering long lost facts and information of the "dearly departed"
Great work again gentlemen. Love that you mentioned how Joe DiMaggio still loved Marilyn Monroe and all that he did for her after her death.
5:30 My introduction to Shirley Temple came from that god forsaken DVD collection that was blasted all over Cartoon Network for ages
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣I think I remember that. I also remember how after her death they played that blasted commercial again.
I remember those commercials too, it played so much, that I know it word for word
I was actually kinda sad when she passed :(
Once again, beautifully shown with dignity and respect. Much love sir
OUTSTANDING As Always! Respectfully done and packed with lots of background information as usual!
Shirley Temple: I can still remember in the 1970s on Saturday or Sunday afternoon on WGN9 watching one of her many films with her talented costars like Arthur Treacher, Bill Robinson and Buddy “Barnaby Jones” Ebsen! This girl singlehandedly saved 20th Century Fox from financial ruin during the depression. Do you think they gave her free admission to any Fox film afterwards?
Steve Jobs: Yep; watched the whole 42:21 of this episode on a Apple device!
Joe DiMaggio: Not sure if their was anyone else as angry with Frank Sinatra and the Kennedys than Joe! Will we ever know what really happened to her?
Abigail Folger: Remember as a child this creepy news coming out of Southern California about Sharon Tate and her friends being butchered! Not something a preteen mind can process at the time
Joe Carcione: During am or noon newscasts, the local NBC Affiliate would air his “Green Grocer” segments. One day they announced there would be no more airings because he died!
Ms. Weather Girl: It’s Raining Men was THE tune in the early 80s!
The Black Dalia: Sad sad just sooooooo sad! What else can you say?
Eating some Ghirardelli Chocolate at the Ghirardelli Mausoleum. Can’t beat that!
I always had a fascination for old cemeteries 🤷🏻♀️
Another great segment of Hollywood Graveyard. I watched this on an HP laptop, and said a silent thank you to Mr. Packard for his innovations in the world of electronics. Thank you too, Sir Arthur.
Long time fan ❤️
My cousin is buried at the Mountain View cemetary in Oakland. Her death is still unsolved. She was only 32.
My Deepest Sympathy
Very sorry for you and your family.
That's very sad. Seems awful to never know, the why is the big reason.
I hope that someday you get some answers...
I've watched these so much that I've memorized the background music and hum it constantly...
I like the music so much I ended up buying it on Amazon... :)
Burt Reynolds was recently buried at Hollywood Forever. Shame you already did your revisit
I’ll have to revisit Hollywood forever
not his corpse per say he was cremated and his ashes were spread on the property 🧐
I just saw a news blurb on that. 2 years; where has his body been?
Burt Reynolds was cremated 😞
I suspected that’s what happened. For a moment I thought he got the Casey Kasem or John Carradine Treatment!
I literally can't get enough of this channel.
Can't get over how blue the sky is there!
Hooray for a new HG! I have seen many shows about Elizabeth Short, and it's so sad that she will never get justice. And, I worked at Candlestick Park as a teen, and got to see Willie McCovey play. I didn't know he had died, and was startled to see his grave. Thank you for this series. Keep up the good work!
I've watched 1 or 2 episodes of other grave hunters. So disappointing. Thank you Arthur for not being the center of your videos and the professionalism of your presentations. I watch many of them repeatedly, learning new things often missed the first time around. You are truly gifted. Thanks for sharing that gift!
Do a part 2 on san Francisco
My mother loved Tennessee Ernie Ford and would often play his albums on a Sunday after we got home from church. I grew to like his music as well. Thank you Arthur. I liked the ending.
For anyone who is a cemetery enthusiast a trip to Colma is an absolute must. There are 17 including one for pets. On a side note; the backstory to the eviction of San Francisco's dead is actually quite scandalous. It was originally sold as a public health measure but it had far more to do with the quiet lobbying by real estate interests desperate to get their hands on the valuable land occupied by SF's many cemeteries.
So many big ones in this video! You were busy in several cemeteries. Love the snacking at the end! Shirley Temple was nice to see. Of course since I'm into the Old West it was great seeing Wyatt! Thanks for taking on this extended tour!
I used to get Ghiradelli Flicks at the movies when I was a kid. They were chocolate kisses that came in cardboard tube with a brightly coloured foil outer wrappers so they sort of looked like a popper. I always preferred them to the 'other guys' chocolate kisses. I was chocolate snob - even way back when.
I live in Palo Alto and there is something I’d like to say for Cypress Lawn Cemetery in Colma. They go above and beyond not just for their clients but for the surrounding community at large.
My mother passed away just shy of 90 in October of 2019 and I was feeling pretty down. Free of charge, and open to everyone, Cypress Lawn hosted a support group for bereaved family members and friends. It was late fall so sunset was at about 5 pm and the group met on Wednesday evenings from 6 to 7:30 pm. I can tell you that it felt pretty weird driving to a huge fancy old cemetery in the dark.
But the group leader, a guy named Jeff was very friendly and helpful. Jeff had a master’s degree in psychology and counseling and his day job was, you guessed it, funeral director. Most evening there were only about four or five of us in the group and although it was somewhat creepy being there after dark it did me good.
Shortly before Halloween that year free of charge and open to everyone Cypress Lawn hosted an outdoor 7:00 pm showing of the of the Disney Pixar movie Coco. They supplied lemonade and popcorn and the guests were advised to bring blankets and lawn chairs. The movie was shown in the cemetery. That seemed a little too strange for my taste so I didn’t attend. Who goes to movie night in a graveyard?
They will be truly missed May god bless them always may they rest in piece.
Don't forget another age 27 famous band member/founder, Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson passed. He was co-founder of the Blues-Boogie Music band, Canned Heat.
I love their music! May he R.I.P.
He should do a video of the 27 club.
@David Shapera Have you heard the Fred Neil album with the Dolphins song and the OG version of Everybody's Talkin' At Me? He plays some really good harp on 4or 5 tracks. I liked that Hooker and Heat album too. It's like Kent State but they never mention Jackson State at same time. Hendrix & Joplin overshadowed him. I felt bad when Lowell George and Donny Hathaway left us too.
@@Nowhereoh thanks, I will check our Fred Neil.
I loved seeing the tomb of Shirley temple and the animator behind Rocky and Bullwinkle. as a history fan I always get excited seeing these places, because they always tell interesting stories about the lives of these famous people who chaned history. Also the Walt Disney family museum is located in San Francisco.
As a fellow history fan, I am just like you with loving these for the fact of hearing about famous people's lives (as a side note I also personally really enjoy the beauty of a cemetery in general so these videos are just big wins all around)
It is good that you are doing this. Some of these people have no living kinfolk, and fans are long dead and gone. Sadly, the truth is that once there is no one else around to care about it--even the Hope Diamond would be considered trash or junk. I am not saying these people were junk or trash, but they have long since been forgotten. Though you, their memories live again, even if only briefly.
My Favorite Channel.. thanks for all your hard work and time in doing these productions for all of us to enjoy.. God Bless you and your Family and to Everyone watching.. you are very much appreciated
Thanks for coming up here Dark as much as I've walked by these graveyards as a kid I wouldn't have known it had so much history ❤️
This isn't Hollywood, so maybe it doesn't fit here. But not all of the graves here were famous because of the entertainment business. You were very close to a infamous grave site. In The Evergreen Cemetery in Oakland is the grave with the remains of 412 people that were unclaimed from Jonestown, from the People's Temple. I am so sorry. May these people rest in peace.
I didn’t realize that there were “unclaimed” remains from Jonestown. Certainly, not that many people. They couldn’t be identified at all? I thought they were poisoned. Which probably shouldn’t have made identification difficult
@@britishtvlover2038 They were unclaimed mostly because of cost. There was one local man who became famous for a very sad reason. All of his immediate family went to Jonestown. He lost 21 family members. He could not afford to have 21 funerals, buy 21 grave plots. They were unclaimed. This was the case of most unclaimed. Multiple family members. Survivors could not afford to bury all of them.
Thanks for mentioning the souls from Jonestown. The cemetery is quite strange in that it's in the middle of an urban location, and the streets seem to go thru the middle of it. I grew up off Golf Links Rd and used to shop at Eastmont Mall which is very near to the cemetery. P.S.: It's also surprising he did not go to Chapel of the Chimes which is one of the most beautiful mausoleums in the world.
Thank you for your contribution to remembering so many talented people that's touched our lives
The research and scripting that go into these videos, on top of the walking and recording, is exceptional. Thank you for your ongoing efforts; these are great works.
Beautiful cemeteries & they all look so peaceful & beautiful! Love the trees & sunlight coming through the trees! Great video& love the information this blog provides( it is the best!)!

When the original San Francisco city hall was built beginning in the mid 1870's [it was completed in 1899 after 27 years of construction] the first thing excavated was a massive cemetery directly west of the new seat of government. When that building was destroyed by the 1906 earthquake it was replaced by the present structure which was completed in 1915. Today the entire civic center plaza [which quickly became a popular place for workers to enjoy their lunches as well as social protests] is where the graveyard once stood with an underground parking garage now holding cars instead of caskets.
