Illinois Adventure #1307 Argonne National Laboratory
Recognized for its excellence in connecting basic research to innovative technology, Argonne is a direct descendant of the University of Chicago's Metallurgical Laboratory, part of the World War Two Manhattan Project. It was at the Met Lab where, on Dec. 2, 1942, Enrico Fermi and his band of about 50 colleagues created the world's first controlled nuclear chain reaction in a racquets court at the University of Chicago. Fermi believed that a collaborative approach to science would deepen understanding and result in greater value. Over the years, Argonne has embraced Fermi's beliefs, creating one of the world's broadest scientific institutes, bringing together many areas of science, engineering and technology.

Illinois Adventure #1208 Vishnu Springs
Vishnu Springs is a forgotten ghost town tucked into a secluded valley of the LaMoine River, near Macomb, IL. It was founded in 1889 by Darius Hicks, was known through most of its short life as a health resort containing spring water with magical healing properties, and was abandoned in the 1920's after a brief second incarnation as a mobster hangout. A couple of attempts to restore the Capitol Hotel followed, and in the 1970s, Vishnu Springs was briefly a commune for hippie college students from nearby WIU. Today, it sits abandoned in its hidden valley, only a local legend even to most who live nearby. Not much remains, though the fabled waters of Vishnu Spring still flow. The property's present owner (Western Illinois University) specifically instructs would-be caretakers to let it rot. Vishnu Springs is a beautiful, historic place that won't be around much longer without the intervention of those who love it.
