I was able to get a copy of the Summer 2009 Northwest Quarterly Magazine about the northwest part bf Illinois and southwest Wisconsin.
I was happy to see two pages dedicated to our old roads.
SCENIC Route 2, Illinois.
This one recommended "Explore the Beauty, Towns & Villages Along the Rock River on Scenic Route 2. This would be Illinois Highway 2.
There were advertisements for:
Oregon Soap Shoppe-- Oregon
Hailey's Winery & Vineyard-- Byron
Merlin's Greenhouse & "The Other Side"
Byron Museum of History-- Byron
Black Hawk Waterways of Northwest Illinois-- with exhibits of A. G. Spalding, the Underground Railroad, Model Railroad, Outhouse Treasures and Clamming on the Rock River.
Fifth Alarm Firehouse Pub--
I'd sure like to see these towns get together to start a byway for Illinois Highway 2. I've driven parts of it and it is quite a drive.

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.
