10 Things to do in Lincoln Square That You Shouldn't Miss

September 9, 2021 Natalie Tallman

The windy city is a cornucopia of modern art, fine dining, cutting edge comedy, and die-hard sports fans. Snap a photo of your reflection in the silver Cloud Gate sculpture at Millennium Park before heading to Grant Park to get hit with the refreshing spray of Buckingham Fountain. There are dozens of museums and theater companies in Chicago, so a cultural experience is never hard to find. You’re sure to laugh your head off at the Second City Theater, the professional launch pad of many famous comedians.

Months ago I decided to go here as I just thought it would be an interesting spot to check out. Pedro, Luis, Nathan, and the rest of the staff have been super helpful in getting me interested in learning magic. Highly skilled magicians from around the world visit this shop. I've met some really interesting people here, joined a magic study group, and like the lectures they have here. Stop in and learn/buy a magic trick.

Rosehill Cemetery

Rosehill Cemetery has provided cemetery services to the Chicagoland area since the mid-1800s. For over a century and a half, our commitment has remained unchanged while our cemetery services have always responded to the changing needs of the community. Rosehill is one of Chicago’s famous historical cemeteries. If you visit on a weekend, you often will see groups of people walking throughout the cemetery looking at the historical monuments, including the famous Firefighters Memorial, and enjoying the day. Many of Chicago’s notables have their final resting place here, including a vice president of the United States. Rosehill is also known for the many Civil War soldiers who are buried here. There are three separate services held every Memorial Day to commemorate these individuals. We offer families two separate walking tours that they may enjoy on their own. The first tour is a map listing the Civil War notables and where they are located in the cemetery. The second tour includes a detailed map of the Chicago notables who are buried here. We are proud to be a member of the Dignity Memorial® network of more than 1,800 funeral, cremation and cemetery service providers. When you choose a Dignity Memorial provider, you not only receive the compassionate care you expect from a locally operated establishment, but also the value you deserve from the largest and most trusted network of funeral, cremation and memorial services.

Armed with my trusty AIA Guide to Chicago (3rd ed.) which contained a map of the cemetery and describes some of the noteworthy monuments, 2 of us took a walk-through on a pleasant autumn weekday. Compared to Graceland Cemetery, there were relatively few people about. There were one or 2 burials taking place. With its mature trees turning color and the solitude, it was lovely. We even spotted some wildlife: 4 deer nibbling the greenery, 3 coyotes loping through the grounds and a huge flock of Canada geese near the central pond. We drove there and were able to find a parking spot just inside the gate.
