Follow me on a quest to lesser known unique attractions and forgotten memorials in the Chicago metro area. Bizarre structures like the Leaning Tower of Niles - a half size replica of the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Silos of Inverness - rumored to have connections with Al Capone's bootlegging operations, and Shit Fountain - a sculpture dedicated to dog turds are highlighted.

I also will take you to two forgotten memorials - The Battle of Barrington where FBI agents were involved in a deadly shoot-out with Public Enemy #1 Baby Face Nelson, and a memorial near the tragic crash site of American Airlines Flight 191 - the deadliest single plane crash in American history.

Outro Song - Explorer's Theme written and performed by me on piano.
