SLIDESHOW: Couple's new home came with quite the history lesson
Jay and Shandi Williams purchased an abandoned home and 12 acres at State Highway 9 and 192nd Avenue SE this past summer. The home came complete with a large swimming pool, old bath house and a nearby crypt containing the grave of one of Chicago's most famous underworld figures.
A great little place for rest and recreation
The last two weeks of October turned out to be a perfect time for my vacation.
