More artciles from the Route 66 Association of Illinois' quarterly magazine.
Our 66-trotters, Marty and Geri Bilecki, were out and about as usual. They welcomed a group from the Czeck Republic in Joliet and escorted them along the Red Carpet Corridor.
In May, they spoke before the Morris Kiwanis about our favorite road. In February and March, they spent 41 days in the road and then went on another trip to Missouri in May. In June, it was the Illinois Motor Tour and the big to-do in Litchfield.
That's putting lots of miles on for the cause.
PRESERVATION REPORT by Joe Gniadek-- landscaping on the old Pig Hip grounds. Fran Edwards said she and Ernie had found a dead, charred squirrel with wires hanging out of its mouth. Was that the culprit for the fire?
JOHN WEIS reported on the August 30th "Hanging of the sails" on the Mill in Lincoln. That would be the wind mill sails and the picture of the place looks great with all the work that's been done on it. The Mill was famous for its schnitzel sandwiches and the grandson of the family who owned it provided these great sandwiches from his restaurant, Hallies, on the square across from the courthouse. These use the same recipe.
More to Come. --RoadDog
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.
