I don\u2019t<\/strong><\/span> purposely visit graves of famous people, but I do bump into those graves on occasion. Harvey Pekar is buried next to Eliot Ness at Lake View Cemetery. I happened to be at the cemetery and asked about Harvey\u2019s grave. A docent said\u00a0look in section 7, lot 9-0, but there was nothing there, just a stick. This was a few years ago. Now there\u2019s a tombstone.<\/p>\n

At John D. Rockefeller\u2019s grave, there was a quarter on the base of the monument. A tour guide said visitors sometimes put money on John D’s grave. The money is in repayment for the dimes Rockefeller gave out to kids, the guide said.<\/p>\n

I saw<\/strong> <\/span>a tombstone with a Jewish star at Lake View. I think I could go long and deep at Lake View, or I could go next door to Mayfield Cemetery, which is Jewish, but for that I’d have to rejoin Temple-Tifereth Israel for the cemetery plot. Or I could use my cousin\u2019s unused plot out at Hillcrest Cemetery, where my parents are buried. Also, I could go to Park Synagogue’s cemetery, but my wife prefers Lake View. So I’ll probably go there.<\/p>\n

My main beef with Lake View is they don’t allow bikes. Cars are OK, but if a biker goes through Lake View, the management has a conniption. The cemetery has steep hills and the management is afraid of bike-car collisions.<\/p>\n

Let me think about Lake View. Give me some time.<\/p>\n
