With more than 500 stores, 60 restaurants, an amusement park, aquarium... even a wedding chapel, its no surprise that Minnesota's Mall of America has become one of the country's top tourist destinations. Our own Michelle Alegria took a trip to the Land of 10,000 lakes to check out the US' largest shopping and entertainment complex and she came across a couple significant 'Chicago connections'.... Club Libby Lu and more Lettuce Entertain You ventures!!

Information on Springfield , IL |
Lou hit the road and traveled south to Illinois' capital, Springfield. From the creepy Museum of Funeral Customs to the quaint frontier community of New Salem, Springfield has much more to offer than just government attractions.
The Museum of Funeral Customs offers a one-of-a-kind museum experience- it takes a new twist on dealing with death. From mini caskets to embalming tools and solutions, you may learn more than you wanted to about death. If this doesn’t lure you, the reconstructed village of New Salem will entertain in a fun and educational way. It resembles an 1830’s settlement, and you can find everything from the local blacksmith to baker to show you the ways of our ancestors.
For more information on The Museum of Funeral Customs:
1440 Monument Avenue
