AUGUST 27
The J.D. Hawes Grain Elevator Museum in Atlanta, Illinois, remains an attraction 40 years after the grain elevator closed. I've never been to it. Maybe next time through town.
AUGUST 31
A miniaturized version of the famed Chicagoland "Spindle" returns to Berwyn. It once stood at a local shopping center. Artist Pete Gamen created the new 23-foot-tall "Spindle" using fiberglass go carts instead of full-sized cars like the original had. This new one will be located at Paison's Pizzeria and Bar.
The original one was 50-feet tall and created in 1989 by artist Dustin Shuler. It had 8 cars impaled on a spike and was dismantled in 2008.
Extra, Extra Berwyn News!! There is also a new Muffler Man in town at Cigars & Stripes Lounge.
