Robert La Tourneaux (1940 – 1986) played Cowboy in the original play and film of “The Boys in the Band”

In the early 1980s, La Tourneaux contracted AIDS, and received news coverage when he sought legal channels to prevent being evicted from his apartment when his landlord objected to the presence of a live-in caregiver. La Tourneaux won the court case, but died in Metropolitan Hospital on June 3, 1986. Boys co-star Cliff Gorman and his wife cared for him during his illness until his death. He was buried at Rosedale and Rosehill Cemetery in Linden, New Jersey.

Grandrapits

Hello everyone,

This is the last of my build a hood master posts. The city that started it all: Grandrapits! 

You’ve seen me share these lots one by one for the past 2 years and I finally decided on the district names so I can share the map with you! I built this neighbourhood to play with the sims I created. I guess it’s also called build a hood challenge, or something similar. I’m not up to the lingo but I wasn’t really building or playing it as a challenge. This all started when I found myself bored with the premade hoods and when I found the pooklet method of creating new sims. 

Anyway, enough history lesson. I’m sharing this hood and the district names with where every lot is placed in case if you also want to create your own hoods but don’t want to create buildings for them. I used the similarly named, because I’m so creative with naming, Grandrapits map from Modthesims made by Suhina-Lempi. 

More info is under the cut!

Here are the names of the districts. Each district has a distinct architectural style. New Beginnings and Downtown uses the “industrial loft turned residential space”, Silverpine is “suburbia with somewhat modern houses” and New Haven is going to be ”tropical”. 

I, of course, have plans for more lots. I’m only on second generation so there are no distinctly rich households yet. I’m planning on creating rich household district in Goldenhills, beach tropical ones in Butterfly Cove and small, cheap apartments in Downtown. (I’m also thinking of making a one big apartment lot with apartments for 3 people each -like starting the founders with roommates- and 4 or 5 apartments in total for a mega starter apartment on that empty square in New Beginnings but we’ll see.)

New Beginnings is where my sims have started their journey, all of the founders have now moved to Silverpine and the first kids are almost off to university. Which made me get side tracked and start building a university hood for them called Evergreen Institute of Technology. Some of you may have come across its master post. At the time I’m typing this post my game is giving me a lot of grief like missing nightlife clothes and random crashing which kind of made me lose my enthusiasm for building more. I had to completely reinstall the game and decided to rebuild my downloads folder which is taking a lot of time. But I digress, let’s take a closer look at the lots and districts:

This is the part of the town I spent the most time in. Here we see New Beginnings and Downtown districts. Here is the list of the lots and their respective links:

Grandrapits Apartments

Grandrapits Town Houses

Grandrapits Twin Condos

Grandrapits Social Housing

The Warehouse

Grandrapits Central Park

Grandrapits Mall

The Static

Founder’s Restaurant

This is New Haven. I have plans for a bar and a restaurant across the beach but still haven’t gotten around to building them. Here is the one lot there so far:

Haven Beach

This is Rosehills. At the moment it has pet and human cemeteries. If I have ideas for theme appropriate lots I may build more. Links:  

Grandrapits Cemetery

Grandrapits Pet Cemetery

And so far the last district I’ve been working on Silverpine. The suburbia of the founders. Here is the link to their lots:

  5 Founder’s Avenue

10  Founder’s Avenue

15  Founder’s Avenue

20  Founder’s Avenue

25  Founder’s Avenue

30  Founder’s Avenue

Maybe in the future when I feel like the hood is complete enough I’ll release a neighbourhood I just don’t know how to go about doing that with all the cc in these buildings. Until then though, if you want to recreate or just use a lot you need you can refer to this and 3 other neighbourhoods linked in my tumblr.

Good luck with the running and the 5k. 😊 Look out for pigeons and dehydration! (Seriously, running with ADHD meds means taking hydration seriously.) Have fun! 🏃‍♂️👟🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♂️😊🥇🐦

It is fortunately a GREAT run to start with again, because it's at night! The Crypt Run traditionally takes place after dark, as close to Halloween as possible, and follows a 5K route through Chicago's historic Rosehill Cemetery. Which also means it's a very confined area -- you're basically switchbacking through a park. If you start to get tired or sick it's super easy to leave the course and get help.

Though I have learned from past Crypt Runs to bring a headlamp -- the course is lit by electric tealights, but it's still quite dark and not super tidy, since it's a footpath in a cemetery in autumn.

I grew up on Winnemac near Broadway, and during my formative boyhood garter snake catching days knew sneaky ways into the maintenance yard of St Boniface Catholic Cemetery and the former backlot of Essanay Studios at it's northeast corner. I recently listened to an odd podcast that "reviewed" St Boniface Cemetery and it got me thinking about my own semi-recreational use of area cemeteries. I have spent some quality time hiking and exploring Rosehill and Graceland - both as a way to get in touch with Chicago history, and to enjoy the natural splendor of these often avoided places. LakeView Historical Chronicles website has a great collection of info on northside cemeteries. I can highly recommend LakeView Historical Chronicles site - they have a ton of collected photos, newspaper clipping and other information about the Lake View area, the linked cemeteries page being one of many.

I know my soul hath power to know all things, Yet she is blind and ignorant in all: I know I'm one of Nature's little kings, Yet to the least and vilest things am thrall.

I know my life's a pain and but a span; I know my sense is mock'd in ev'rything; And, to conclude, I know myself a Man, Which is a proud and yet a wretched thing.

[ Graceland & Rosehill Cemeteries, Chicago Illinois — October 2023 ]

#iiiiit's the most wonderful tiiiiime of the year #when I get to hang out in cemeteries and no one thinks that's weird #that's just what you do in october! #also that poem is etched into one of the larger headstones I saw; it's actually quite moving? #''I know myself a man which is a proud and yet a wretched thing'' feels...important somehow. #wherever there is light

Chicago's transit is pretty good for the US (usually 15 min lead times for the subway, occasionally better, and a sensible bus system) but God it could get so much better, so much easier than most cities.

Stick a bus with 95% 7 min lead times during rush hour and weekends, 12 min otherwise operating 24 hours on Ashland from Rosehill cemetery to the Pink Line and either extend Kimball to Jefferson Park, or somehow shuttle between the Blue Line and Kimball, and now you've seriously increased the value of housing stock in safe areas in between the two outgrowths of the recent gentrifications!

新景点! 芝加哥玫瑰山公墓是觀察野生動物的好地方

（芝加哥時報/快訊）很多人不知道,芝加哥有一个新景点, 那就是玫瑰山公墓(Rosehill Cemetery), 当寒風掃過落葉，兩個墓地的訪客在草地上舒舒服服地躺著。他們似乎不是去拜訪倫納德·皮爾、弗洛倫斯·a·麥克倫森等名人，也不是去拜訪那些躺在墓碑下的普通人。當一個人拿著一袋小胡蘿蔔走近時，雄鹿站了起來，悠閒地走了過去。 (more…)

Halloween Saturday and I'm listening to some Chicago ghost stories and the Halloween party down the hill (thanks for the invite neighbor) while is imbibe in some Dead Guy Whiskey paired with a Tatuaje Surrogates Bone Crusher cigar. This sweet malt whiskey made from the same malts as Rogue Dead Guy Ale is very easy drinking while the cigar hits you like a bone club with notes of fresh earth, old leather, and autumn bonfires. .... You can't have grown up in the Chicago area and not known of its most famous hitchhiking ghost, Resurrection Mary. Stories of Mary have been around since the 1930s. A young woman in a white dress hitchhiking along Archer Ave is seen looking for a ride between Resurrection Cemetery and the Willowbrook (Oh Henry) Ballroom. When she is picked up either near the Ballroom or along the road she says she's heading home only to disappear as the car passes Resurrection Cemetery. One man claimed to have danced with her at the Oh Henry Ballroom and then took her home only to have her disappear from his car. He went to the address she had given him the next morning onlynto find out she had been dead for years. There are tales of ghostly hitchhikers around the world and Mary is one of many but she will always be my favorite. Chicago and tales of Mary, The Excalibur, the Water Tower, Rosehill, Graceland, and Bachelors Grove Cemeteries are where my love of the supernatural started. .... “When hinges creak in doorless chambers, and strange and frightening sounds echo through the halls … Whenever candlelights flicker where the air is deathly still, that is the time when ghosts are present, practicing their terror with ghoulish delight." - Ghost Host, Disney's Haunted Mansion .... #ghoststories #halloweentime #spookyseason #halloween #cigar #CigarLover #CigarAfficionado #cigarphoto #cigarsnob #cigarlife #cigarsmoke #tatuajecigars #cigarsandwhiskey #sailorandsticks #TapThatAsh #whiskey #roguedistillery #whiskeylife #WhiskeyLover #whiskeyphoto #WhiskeyNeat #WhiskeyAfficionado #whiskeygram #whiskeyandhistory #quote #quotestagram #hauntedmansion #hitchhikingghosts (at Coastal San Pedro) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkUgxuMrPZu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
