There is more to Illinois than cornfields, corrupt politicians, and the Cubs! The Land of Lincoln is filled with fascinating people, one-of-a-kind places, and things with unique and bizarre histories. Forget about quaint small town bed-and-breakfasts and crowded Chicago nightclubs-Oddball Illinois, now fully updated and expanded, takes you to the places you really want to go. See:

Henry's Rabbit Ranch
America's One and Only Hippie Memorial
World's First Jungle Gym
Popeye's Hometown
The Leather Archives and Museum
General Santa Ana's two wooden legs
World's Largest Sock Monkey
Scarlett O'Hara's green drapes
The Friendship Shoe Fence
And many, many more sites

This book belongs in your glove box-you never know when you'll be in range of an oddball adventure!
