  • wait is this villa park illinois?

  • @sk8rocksick1 Sure was.

  • Actually I'm more sorry to see Adam's Place on St. Charles go than the Ovaltine smokestack even though I haven't lived in Villa Park for more than a dozen years now. I'm old enough to remember when the factory was still active, and even took a tour when I was a little kid. It looks from the video that the stack almost clobbered the nearby condos on the way down.

  • ya took out like 3 garage doors,unless they fixed em there all borded up right now

  • I got me some bricks out that nigga.

  • straight uhhhp me too. and also me and chris met a drunk guy there and kept going on about stories about it and then we found him a "perfect brick" and then he said "oh man this perfect im gonna put this under my deck"

  • nice placement demo team!

  • The whole thing was somewhat anticlimactic wasn't it.

  • Nobody listens to classic rock anymore. I feel so alienated now. :(

  • Ralphie: That's for the crummy ad, douchebags!

  • "Be sure to drink your Ovaltine? Son of a bitch!!!"

  • ...if I had the money...I'd by the land and the big stack...then hire the best architectural firm in the world...and have 'em design and refit it into a living-space for me...with a penthouse & deck on top... the taller th' stack- all th' better!

  • I used to ride my bike around there, and try to get a tour by telling the guard we know a Mr. Koblankos that said it was okay. We never got the tour. I wonder why he didn't btlieve us?

  • Where's the bike trail ? When did they build all of this crap on the old Ovaltine sight ? This was on Villa Ave, Villa Park ? What a waste of money.

  • I know that Ovaltine mix and milk was used for the mortar for the bricks in that stack.

  • ...I always wanted to buy one of them stacks and then build a house in it up at the top for the fantastic view...plus a telescope and a deck for an elevated BB-Q and base-jump off it for kicks... These stacks are damn well-built- this idea has great potential... if ya got th' bucks!
