If you love basketball you know the name George Mikan. Well this is his boyhood home in Crest Hill, IL. From here he went on to an illustrious career playing for the Minneapolis Lakers for years. A special street sign in front of the house/apartment has two street names on it, George Mikan Way and James J. Monge Drive. Mr. Monge who was a longtime Chaney School District superintendent.

This the view coming from the east, the building is easy to miss. There is a statue Honoring Mikan a few blocks south of here at Ingalls Ave.
