After watching Spring Grove featured on World's Greatest Cemeteries last October, Carrie Rhodus of the Jewish Cemeteries of Greater Cincinnati decided to pitch the public TV series about returning here for another episode.
"We've got just as much history as Spring Grove," she told her boss.

And that's why host Roberto Mighty will feature stories about the Manischewitz, Glueck and other families interred in Cincinnati's Jewish cemeteries this fall.

..."Those future episodes also may include stories from Cincinnati's Black Union Baptist Cemetery at the suggestion of Rhodus and Lee Drake, the local Civil War re-enactor who portrayed soldier David Urbansky for Mighty.
When World's Greatest Cemeteries returns this fall (date to be announced), the series will air six episodes from Louisville; the Bronx; Philadelphia; New Orleans; Concord, Mass.; and Cincinnati.
The first season featured Hollywood Forever Cemetery; Brooklyn's Green-Wood Cemetery; London's Highgate Cemetery; Cincinnati's Spring Grove Cemetery and Arboretum; a Boston Revolutionary War graveyard; and the Chateau Monte Cristo near Paris.
The Spring Grove hour included feminist Frances Wright; abolitionist Levi Coffin; inventor and abolitionist Henry Boyd; landscape architect Adolph Strauch; 3-year-old scarlet fever victim “Chunkie” Singleton; the trees, waterfall, chapel and, yes, the cicadas."
