Route 66: How About a Dog Museum? --Part 2

Since they haven't selected a site for the proposed Walldog Museum, I have a little suggestion. How about the old District 6 Illinois State Police Headquarters located south of Pontiac, Illinois, on the old Route 66.

It was still being used when we first drove the Mother Road in 2002, but was closed in 2003 and these days there is much evidence of deterioration each time we drive by. The last time we saw in use was several years ago when there was a train derailment about a half mile south of it.

This would be a great place for the museum, and being right on Route 66, another place to stop.


THE DOWNTOWNER MUSEUM

And, speaking of murals, whatever happened to the Pontiac history mural on the back of the old Downtowner Motel which has since been torn down. Hopefully, they left the back wall standing or at least moved the wall. If neither was done, it would be alright with me if it was repainted elsewhere in town.

Just a Suggestion. --RoadDog
