If America is really the land of borrowed culture, a good symbol of that is located a mile south of Morton Grove in the Chicago suburb of Niles, Illinois.
That's not the Leaning Tower of Pisa in the picture I took this afternoon, but the Niles counterpart on Touhy Avenue. It's a slightly more than half-scale replica of the more famous one. Pisa's lean is a bit more extreme, too.
Niles has a number of sister cities; one of them, of course, is Pisa.
