Center of the Universe
The intersection of
119th Street and Indianapolis Blvd. Do to its proximity to Chicago, during the 1930s this was one of the busiest intersections in the country. There was once the architectural landmark of the
Illiana Hotel but it was demolished during the early 90s. The only remenant of its long vibrant history is one of the orginal
White Castles. Even though the term is used sarcastically by young people in their twenties, there are remenents of truth in it.

1. The centerpoint from which the Big Bang released all matter into space, so therefore, the oldest point in space. Some
theorize that there is/was either a giant black hole or a giant
white hole (the opposite of a black hole; it expels matter instead of sucking it up) at
the center of the universe at some time.
2. Me.
