Your perfect Saturday: August 7
Al Walavich has been visiting the graves of his family members since he was a tot. He’s taken that knowledge (and a proclivity for black suits and round spectacles) and applied it to 25 years of fantastic Chicago graveyard tours. Today he guides the City of Chicago’s Graceland Tour (meet at Chicago Cultural Center, 77 E Randolph St; chicagoneighborhoodtours.com, 312-742-1190; check in 9:30am; $30, seniors and students $25)—covering the architecture and legendary characters of Graceland Cemetery, including Louis Sullivan, Daniel Burnham, George Pullman, Marshall Field and the Potter Palmers.
