# 128 9 May 2011 -- Leaning Tower, but not of Pisa


Here is another place I pass regularly. This is the first time I have taken a photo of the "Leaning Tower". According to Wikipedia, "The Leaning Tower of Niles, Illinois, was completed in 1934 by industrialist Robert Ilg as part of a recreation park for employees of the Ilg Hot Air Electric Ventilating Company of Chicago. It is situated at 6300 W. Touhy Avenue and it is a 1/2 size copy of the original tower in Pisa, Italy, which is a Niles' sister city.
