Man chained himself to place he was conceived after Phil Collins concert to protest at demolition

On Friday morning an Illinois man chained himself to a door of a Tollway Oasis rest stop that will always be in his heart to protest at its planned demolition on Sunday.

"It is a weird story, I must admit. About 21 years ago, my parents were at a Phil Collins concert here in Chicago, and one thing led to another. They ended up at the oasis … and I was conceived there," Kevin Walters said.



The 21-year-old from Crystal Lake, went on to explain that this little titbit about his parent's love at the Des Plaines Oasis on the Jane Addams Memorial Tollway just came up in conversation one day.

"They were like, 'Oh yeah, hey, we never really told you how you were born, or your conception,' and my parents are weird people, so it's not that surprising," he said. Walters said the oasis is part of his life, and he hates to see it close. The Des Plaines Oasis will be torn out as part of a plan to widen the Addams Tollway.
