About

Your round-trip ticket to the wildest, wackiest, most outrageous people, places, and things

the Windy City has to offer!



Whether you're a born-and-raised Chicagoan, a recent transplant, or just passing through, Chicago Curiosities will have you laughing out loud as Scotti Cohn takes you on a rollicking tour of the strangest sides of the Windy City.

Watch Daedalus and Icarus fly across the façade of the Savings of America Building-and wonder if

the mural's location might carry a message for the financial industry. . . .

A baboon with wings? A predatory grasshopper? Figure out for yourself just what Picasso's "gift to

Chicago"-a sculpture unveiled in 1967-represents.

Want to stand out? You can do so at the Ledge at Skydeck Chicago, an all-glass architectural wonder

attached to the 103rd floor of the Willis Tower (formerly the Sears Tower).

Meet the man who travels the world impersonating President Obama.
