The driven artist Simon Rodia created these famous towers in the middle of what's known to be quite a troubled area of town ( sirens were screaming most of the time we were there), now a historic and protected site, many schools and tourist find there way into this residential neighbourhood to enjoy the sights and learn about this tiny italian immigrant who spent 33 years building a work of art. The rain stopped just long enough for us to hear the stories from our guide outside and snap these pics.
The highest tower reaches 99.5 feet and sits only 4 inches into the foundation!
The boys fascinated and asking lots of questions!
