Strolling Down Devon Avenue

Devon Avenue

updated 10:29 PM CST, Monday May 7, 2012

An afternoon walk down Devon Avenue on May 7th, 2012. There were community members doing a clean-up, a lovely lady upholding the parking laws, beautiful architecture, and interesting businesses on the border of Rogers Park and Edgewater.

Saint Henry Catholic Cemetery

Saint Henry Catholic Cemetery is the only surviving churchyard (that is, a graveyard adjacent to and affiliated with a church) within the city of Chicago. Located in the West Ridge neighborhood on the far north side, the church, erected 1905, is a neo-Gothic structure, clad in brick with ornamentation of limestone and bronze. Originally serving the German Catholic community, as the population changed, it was given to a Croatian parish in the 1970s. Local legend has it that "Sailor Jack", the boy on the "Cracker Jack" box, is buried here, though various identities are given for him.
