Did Our Route 66 Thing-- Part 6-- COZY DOG and That Darn Bridge

Prices at the Cozy Dog Now and Back Then.

Two Cozy Dogs and half a large fry is plenty enough to fill you up.

I also picked up a free CD pen while there.

Above the book for people to write their names, saw a menu with prices from a long while back. How long, I couldn't find out. I asked one of the two people there and she said she had no idea.

Anyway, here's a comparison.

BACK THEN---NOW

Cozy Dog 15 cents-- $1.85
Hamburger 20 cents-- $2.10
Cheeseburger 25 cents-- $2.60
Fries 15 cents-- sm $1.55 large $3.10
Coke 10 cents-- sm $1.45 med $1.55 large $1.85


THAT DARN BRIDGE

I forgot to mention that in Pontiac, we went right to the Il-4 bridge that the Weisses found some time back. Until the last few times we'd visited it, it was a hit-or-miss and then a lot of looking to find it. I finally did figure out where it was, however. But now, anyone can find it right away because of the new and improved signage.

Even though the bridge had to be replaced, the state did a great job and it looks the same. The original end posts, however, were kept. The one with the Route 4 logo (Route 66 replaced this road) was repainted carefully by John and Lenore as it was quite faded.

Impressive job on that old bridge.

On to Litchfield. --RoadDog
