This is a nice place with thousands of tombstones in a pretty place with lots of mature trees. It is particularly beautiful when all the buckeye chestnut trees are in bloom. The chapel and main building are attractive. I found out my great great grandmother was buried here in 1921, but I had no idea where her stone is. This lead me to the office. The fellow I met was very nice. I could say jovial. He consulted reconds and found the location. He didn't stop there, he hopped in his car and had me follow him to the site. There was Josephine. This is a Catholic cemetery. The parish has three places to worship and two other small cemeteries. I come here monthly to visit a grandmother who died 26 years before I was born. Family ties run deep in our Bohemian clan. This is a pleasant, peaceful place. It's a pleasure to come here.

More than 29,000 people have been buried at the cemetery since 1852." This is a beautiful cemetery with a park like feel to it. My favorite spot is the veterans' area around the Grand Army of the Republic monument. I have given several grave site talks about Civil War veterans throughout the years. I was honored to help install a flag pole at the GAR memorial. This is the city's largest cemetery. It is crisscrossed by gentle one lane roads. Some of the tomb stones are very impressive. Others are very modest, with everything in between. This place is a home to many stately trees. A great place to collect acorns in the fall. Captain George Waldo is buried here, although his exact resting place has been lost to time. As you all know Waldo was killed in action at the Battle of Shiloh. I go here when I want to spend time in a quiet, cool and solemn place to relax my soul and body. Take the time to visit this holy place. Be respectful and enjoy the solitude.

We requested military rites for my father's funeral. Funeral Director, Jon, submitted a form…read morerequest to Veterans Affairs, received a confirmation email the form was submitted but didn't hear anything else. He did not follow up to confirm they were coming, and was simply hoping they would show up. They did not. A friend of my father that is a veteran and very active with veteran affairs attended the funeral personally. I talked to him before the service - he knew nothing about military rites being done that day. I was praying all through mass that they would be outside of church - they were not. Our veteran family friend came up to me after mass also feeling terrible that nobody was there and wondering what happened. He took it upon himself to at least present the flag to my mom at the mausoleum. Had he not been there personally, that wouldn't have even happened. I am kicking myself that I didn't just contact the Veteran's group myself and made sure they were set up BUT I also thought the funeral director handled it. Jon came up to me at the luncheon telling me a made-up story that the group was too busy and the personal friend Vet said he would come and do the flag. That is a lie - the only reason that happened is because I talked to the Veteran myself!! Five years ago they screwed up my Mother-in-Law's burial date. It was supposed to be for immediate family the day after the service, but they never set it up. We found out the morning of we weren't going to be burying her that day, when family was still in town. If you are forced to use this company due to pre-paid funerals be sure you CONFIRM EVERYTHING with them and babysit them that they are doing what you ask!! Our family was so sad my father did not receive the military rites ceremony he deserved.

A lot of young kids honed their football skills in summer leagues here. I walk this area a lot and I rarely see any life at this place. Used to be great Friday fish fries here; but that's been canceled due to the plague. I wish I could tell you more about this place. Its glory days might be behind us. If I ever see a car in the parking lot, I'll try to get some current information. Still a nice area for walking. Great blue heron patrol the river across the road.

Went to the dedication of this remarkable statue monument yesterday. An absolutely stunning bronze…read morestatue of three Ojibwa Indians caught in time during a portage out of Lake Michigan. The 10 foot tall subjects include a young woman, an elder guide, and a young brave carrying a birch bark canoe. The canoe is 18 feet long; and the statue weighs 3 and a half tons. This project was supposed to be completed in 2014; but it took a while longer. The design and casting of this impressive work was done by the well known sculptor R. T. "Skip" Wallen. An Ojibwa elder gave the convocation in his native tongue. He spoke of respect for the planet and all living things; and the common values of humanity. Although I speak passable Lakhota, Ojibwa was beyond my comprehension. Good thing he spoke in English, too. The crowd was in hushed respect. Except for the troll who drove by and yelled, "they're just @%$&ing Indians!" When you visit this place, you will notice the incredible detail in the the statue. The artist went all out to make this monument appear to be a snapshot from time. With Lake Michigan as the backdrop this spot between Manitowoc and Two Rivers is gorgeous! If you are driving between Trivers and Manty it would greatly behoove you to stop and take in this marvel on the lake shore. It's right across from the Aurora Hospital.

You may have to Crane your neck to read this review because it's posted pretty high up on the page. These cranes are pretty awesome as we found out when we were building a business property up in Port Orchard - my then-girlfriend and her father with a little help from yours truly. You can find these cranes all over the country. They are bright yellow much like your thingy when you have a particularly nasty infection. It's cool that they are a little local business in Wisconsin that got really big and now is one of the biggest names for construction cranes in the whole country. You could call it the American dream. I've been meaning to review them for a long time and I'm glad I finally got round to it. Something just Grove me to do it.

Tonight, (July 31st) I watched them clean up and clear out an overgrown tree and the results were out of this world.
