The Leaning Towers of Pisa and Niles

I couldn't possibly let a reference to the Leaning Tower of Pisa go by without mentioning the Leaning Tower of Niles. The Leaning Tower of Niles is a half-scale replica (of so-so quality) of the original, built in 1933 in Niles, Illinois, by an admirer of things Italian. It is a short drive from the University; just head down Touhy Avenue to Niles and there it is, right by the used car dealership. You can't miss it.
