The Shabby Corn Castle

Description

My husband and I like to escape Chicago on the weekends and tool around the Illinois countryside. Today we came upon this curiosity way out in the middle of nowhere, all by it's lonesome in the center of miles and miles of corn. It looks like a shabby Mc Mansion, with it's tyvek and cheap brick, but it has turrets and other castle-like constructions. Is it a McCastle? I hope this isn't supposed to become someone's elegant country estate. It's just too freaky, and the epitome of American housing hideousness, not to mention that it's alone, in the middle of nowhere with no neigbors, not even a pig farm. Perhaps this is why so many Europeans look down their noses at us....

Daisy Mae - "Abner, y'all know I'd luv to have me one of them fancy castles!"

Abner - "Sho 'nuff Darlin', Ah'll jus' git me some tyvek and we'll be livin' large!"

At any rate, I will be watching the progress of this monstrosity and will be posting updates.
