Posted October 29, 20222 yr Useless facts... Third largest city in Illinois after Chicago and Aurora Largest number of operable lift bridges in the Midwest outside Chicago Location of the first Dairy Queen Prison was used in The Blues Brothers movie
October 29, 20222 yr My dad was born in Joliet. As kids, we used to go there for a week every summer to visit his family. We loved when he drove over one of the bridges and we'd hear the sound of the tires on the metal surface. Glad the Rialto is still there. I saw a few movies there.

October 29, 20222 yr Wow. The façade of the Rialto is really something. I lived in Chicago for 13 years but never made it out to Joliet. It looks interesting.
