👍👍 Pirate Cat’s human here. Just happened upon the fact that his memorial is on Google maps. What a wonderful thing to discover! He was loved by the community and we were thrilled when his fans wanted to memorialize him. His story was fun and inspirational, and we are proud to have been his humans.

SOR Wildlife Adventure
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Cheap tickets for an awesome drive thru zoo and petting zoo. They just opened 4 weeks ago, and it has so many animals already with plans for a lot more within the next year. Lots of shade to walk in, and the food for the petting zoo is only a dollar. Just wish the animals could walk up to the car an...

Leaning tower of miller
Tourist attraction
👍👍 I’ve been watching this tower since I was a child. From farming the land around it to numerous “corn boil” parties in the farm yard, it’s always been an eye catcher. It got a facelift with permission from Miller around year 2000. The state tried to impose fines for an unregistered billboard in 201...

Forest Glen Preserve
Park
👍👍 This was my first time coming to Forest Glen, and it was awesome. I registered for the backpacking trail, and made it an overnight trip. 12 miles for the loop, and it was harder than I thought it would be in flat Illinois. Lots of elevation gain between the ridges. I hiked 8 miles on the first day t...

👍👍 Very nice play ground, well maintained. It's also only a seven minute drive from the nearby hospital. It has a good amount of benches and picnic tables, and the park is gated all around, except for the entrance. There are two larger grassy areas that are great for kids to play, and it is nicely shad...
