Summary It's a part of Chicago that's full of surprises. It's home to a 28-square-mile forest with a rock canyon. It's where one of the Blues Brothers did time (along with thousands of other real-life convicts). And it's the setting for Chicago's most famous ghost story. Geoffrey Baer travels by train, tugboat and 1958 Edsel through the Southwest suburbs of Chicago.
Note Special features: Chicago stories: the invasion of the Asian Carp ; the Plainfield tornado of 1990 ; Metropolitan Water Reclamation District: the Deep Tunnel ; archival films of Argonne National Laboratory.
