Al Capone's Gravesite @ Mt. Carmel Cemetery Hillside Illinois USA June 2014
About 20 miles west of Chicago, in Hillside, Illinois, lies a huge plot of land. It’s Mount Carmel Cemetery and it’s the final resting place of Alphonse Capone, a long-time leader of the Chicago Outfit. Al Capone’s grave is in section 34. When you enter the cemetery from Roosevelt Rd (IL 38), turn right and drive on for some 50 yards, and there it is on the right.

Where The Hillside Mall Used To Be (Obscure History)
Hillside Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago, had its own mall for close to forty years. The location took advantage of an older surface street newtwork plus the 'new expressways that were started in the 1950's and completed during the 1960's. The mall was originally an open air mall but it had a roof put on sometime around 1965. Carson's was the anchor on the east end and Goldblatts on the west. In between were store like Walgreens and Wolworth's, as well as numerous smaller stores that included a fantastic carmel corn shop as well as a currency exchange. Some locals claim that it was the construction of the Eisenhower Extension that killed off the mall. The original parcel was a massive square of land but when the old Congress Expressway (renamed as Eisenhower) was extended, a giant berm cut off the northern third of the land. Some say that the new highway made acess difficult and that potential customers would go to other area shopping centers. There may be some truth to that theory. The OakBrook Mall opened about 1960 and Yorktown opened about 1965. The operators of Hillside Mall tried to keep it going but it eventually became an empty and tired looking place. The old Carson's came down around 1998 and was replaced by Car Max and the Goldblatts/Zayre/State DMC/Menards came down circa 2015. [ In the video I omitted mention of the old Dominicks Grocery Store that was housed in an outbuilding which stood along the highway berm. There was also a gas station/car stereo place along Wolf, and just outside the east end of the parking area, stood a Sandy's Hamburger stand.)
Lights Out #67 Mount Carmel Cemetery
Come with me for a visit to beautiful Mount Carmel Cemetery in Hillside, outside Chicago. This is the resting place of many well-known Chicago gangsters, including Al Capone. It also has the grave of Julia Buccola Petta, The Italian Bride. When her body was exhumed six years after her death in childbirth (1921), it was found to be perfectly preserved. For more about Julia Petta, I encourage you to visit orderofthegooddeath.com/the-italian-bride-of-chicago , for a blog post by Adam Selzer, Chicago historian and ghost hunter.

American Cemetery - Rolling Tour - REAL USA Ep. 66A
This is an addendum to Episode 66: American Cemetery. On a typical video shoot we also shoot a lot of B-roll since we don't use a script and everything is pretty much as it happens at the moment. This means we end up with a lot of extra footage that is often good, but would make the primary video too long. So this time instead of making Episode 66 a multi-part video as such, we are including a second video of the actual driving tour through the Highlandview Cemetery with no narration. This is the cemetery EXACTLY as we saw it for the first time. So this is bonus video for those who enjoyed Episode 66 of The REAL United States, or those that would like the tour without all the explanations.
