Paint peels from the ceiling, rusty bed frames sit in the dark cells, and we walk the prison grounds of Old Joliet Prison in Joliet, Illinois. Next, we drive around Winnetka, Illinois to find the actual house that Kevin McCallister from "Home Alone" set up homemade booby-traps in. Lastly, we stroll through a park filled with trees, flowers, shrubs....and tanks?
