Schenks
Their house is perfectly landscaped, and there does not seem to be one blade of grass awry. They also said that they found out the house was a Sears home and they have been able to get ahold of the original plans.
On an earlier visit, we had noticed a structure across the street from them that appears to be an old gas station. It is and they are putting pressure on the owner to cut down the tress in front of it that obscure it. Then they would like to have some old pumps put out front. I'd guess the station would date from the 20s or 30s.
Between the Schenks, the Route 66 walkway constructed by the Normal High School students, and the new Kicks on 66 bar and grill, and possibly the old gas station, Towanda is getting into the Route 66 spirit.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
