In 1999, after Places Rated Almanac called Kankakee the worst metropolitan area to live in the U.S. and Canada, talk-show host David Letterman poked fun with a Top 10 list and sent the town two gazebos to spruce things up. Now students are dismantling the gazebos and making a commemorative rocking chair out of the wood for Letterman's retirement.
