As part of our series on unique places around the country, today we visit the Coral Castle of Miami, Florida. It is a structure made of 1,100 tons of coral rock. Edward Leedskalnin, a Latvian immigrant, built the structure between 1928 and 1951. He did so single-handedly and without modern construction equipment. Ken Bourke is a tour guide for the attraction.
