The Leaning Tower of Niles is a half size representation of Italy’s Leaning Tower of Pisa, but this one is located in Niles, Illinois. If you’re traveling in or around this city, this might be a stop you want to make. Businessman Bob Ilg built this one in 1934 and anchored it in concrete so its lean would stay consistent.
4. Randy’s Donuts

If you happen to be driving by, you definitely won’t miss the giant donut placed on top of Randy’s Donuts to lure locals and visitors to stop in.
3. Cadillac Ranch Amarillo, Texas
The Cadillac Ranch is a historic piece of artwork representing the evolution of the Cadillac car line from 1949 to 1963. Numerous movies, music videos and television shows were filmed by this public instillation including being featured at Disney Land, a Bruce Springsteen song, and the Pixar animated film Cars.
