Route 66: How About a Dog Museum?

From one RoadDog to another Dog, I like the idea. The Jan. 19th Bloomington (Il) Pantagraph reports that tourism in Pontiac, Illinois, was at an all-time high this past summer and a lot of that had to do with the well-known group, the WallDogs, who came to town and painted lots of murals all over the place.

As a result, the town is strongly considering the "International Walldog and Sign Art Museum." Walldogs are artists from all over the US who gather in a designated community each year to liven up the sides of buildings with their historical art.

This museum will not be confined just to the group, but to all of the American signage. Funding and location have not been determined yet. Will there be tourism and tax increment funds?

The town is also considering at least one new mural each year.
