    Great video! My first job as a teenager was at Kroger as a bag boy! I think I got min. wage at $3.20 an hour, and they took 5 bucks a week out for union dues! I went to the manager and told her that I wasn't asked if I wanted to be in a union, she promptly told me that I didn't have a choice in the matter!
    Looking back, I wish that's all I had to worry about today!!!
    BTW I've been to Springrove Cemetery and Arboretum several times...we even took the tram tour one summer...It's a beautiful place...If I'm not mistaken, It was designed by the same fella that designed Central Park in Manhattan...Have a great day and thanks again for everything @whittdocs

    We love cemeteries! Fascinating! I was wondering if you'd done anything on the Dexter Mausoleum @ Spring Grove, Cincinnati?
    The Dexter Mausoleum and Chapel
    This is actually a private family mausoleum. Julius and Edmund Dexter made Kentucky bourbon and were even visited by Charles Dickens and the Prince of Wales. This is also the only known funerary monument with flying buttresses in Ohio and possibly, the United States. The Gothic Revival mausoleum was built for $100,000 (which would now cost around $1.3 million) by Joseph Foster and designed by James Keys Wilson. It took four years to design and was modeled after Sainte Chapelle in Paris and England's Chichester Cathedral. The marble interior has 12 catacombs on the lower level and chapel above. The mausoleum was never finished due to financial issues and was originally designed to have an elevator and stained glass windows that were never installed.

    I agree with the many people that have already said how much they like you and your channel's content. Your voice for the narration, the details you provide about the person's and their life give your videos a very professional quality. Thanks for what you do.
    --- Now, I have 2 suggestions.
    1). If you don't already subscribe to this RUclips channel, you should. You'd definitely find it interesting. "Hollywood Graveyard". That guy does video similar to yours. Longer and covers multiple people per video, but still like yours. All of his videos cover people associated with entertainment, music, writing, etc. Mostly of Hollywood fame. And, the original intro theme music is pretty cool. :-)
    2) If you don't already know about this cemetery, you should check out the Wikipedia entry for "Crown Hill Cemetery" in Indianapolis, Indiana. You could spend multiple days there documenting the grave sites of people whose names or accomplishments would be instantly recognizable to a lot of your followers. Some of deceased:
    -- President Benjamin Harrison; Indiana governors/U.S. senators & representitves; over 1,600 Confederate soldiers that died in Indianapolis' prison camp -- Camp Morton ; founder of Butler University in Indianapolis: the Duesenburg brothers(maker of "the Duesenburg" autos); founders of the Indy Speedway(Indy 500 fame); Gatling --inventor of the gun by his name; Eli Lilly-- founder of the drug company; Indiana poet James Whitcomb Riley("the frost is on the punkin" / "Little Orphen Annie";
    -- the famous bank robber: John Dillinger (whose nephew is trying / has tried to have his grave dug up, the body exhumed/DNA examined to prove or disprove the "theories" that someone other than John is buried in the grave. : --the 1936 Berlin Summer Olympics Gold Medal runner.(that upset Hitler) ; Indy 500 winners, Target stores founder; football team owner; author Booth Tarkington---------------- and graves of many other "famous/not so famous" people.
    --- As a Hoosier, I think you'd find Crown Hill an interesting -- huge-- place to document some graves for a video or 2 or just for yourself. -- Hoosiers would love to have you visit our state some time.-- Tim

      First of all, thank you so much for the comment. I love comments like this. Very informative and helpful. Hollywood graveyard is a wonderful channel. Honestly, I didn’t really know too much about cemetery channels on RUclips until I started filming myself. I’ve connected with a lot of wonderful people. Thanks for the suggestion, I would love to film in Indianapolis. I did visit a cemetery in Indiana, and visited the grave of Emmett Kelly. I was on my way back from Chicago, where I did some recording. Check out some of my previous videos to see the Emmett video. Thank you so much for watching. I greatly appreciate it.

      Yeah. We don’t see too many Piggly Wiggly’s around here. But, we do see quite a few Kroger.

    Next time you get up to Spring Grove, which is my favorite cemetery, check out C.C. Breuer grave the legend says his own eyes were used in his bust and they follow you around the grave. Do believe they were his real eyes no but it is a neat grave to visit.

    Very interesting! I don't think I've ever been to a Kroger Store? Now I saw two stones side by side - one had JR. on it and that person died only a few years apart from Mr. Kroger. What gives with that? You didn't mention it? Thanks so much for sharing!!!!! Pat

      @Whittdocs  4 года назад

      That’s neat. I think I read somewhere that they had over 2,000 stores. Maybe more. And I’ve come to learn that the Kroger brand owns several more brands as well.

    • @cynthiaamitrano8915
      @cynthiaamitrano8915 4 года назад

      @@Whittdocs you are correct. They have supercenters, pharmacies, department stores and in store clinics to mention a few. They have 2750 operating locations. They are the second highest grossing retailer in the US just behind Walmart. They could surpass if they wanted to because their groceries are far superior to Walmart's. That's just my personal opinion.

    • @Whittdocs

      I love going. I have to go about 30 minutes to get to Kroger, so I normally shop a little more local. But I love going when I can. Thanks for all of that info.

    I wonder how Mr. Kroger protected his money when he cashed out of Providence Bank before the Depression. He had to physically locate his money somewhere. Even common folks that just had bank deposits lost their money when there was a run on the bank. Wonder if Kroger converted to gold or put his money in a mattress.

    Word on the street that I hear is that Kroger, inc is not a great corporation as far as things you'd like to see in a large corporation. I've been led to believe it's not a place you should "feel good supporting" necessarily.
