In 1999, the city was mocked on the Late Show with David Letterman after being named America's worst place to live. As a gag, David Letterman donated two gazebos to the city in the hopes it would proclaim itself as "The home of the world famous twin gazebos."

This was organized by Kankakee students who felt the gazebos were symbols of a past they wanted to forget.
