Illinois' Route 66 Red Carpet Corridor Festval-- Part 6-- "Walking Tacos"

Before leaving Pontiac, we took a walk around the square where they had a regular carnival going on and lots of vendors. We stopped at the Lions' Club and bought what they called walking tacos. I'd never heard of them and was curious. It turns out to be a Frito bag with crushed chips. They put a big chunk of shredded beef and dollop of sour cream in as well. Delicious and a good deal for $1.50 and a good cause.

We were saddened when we drove by the old site of the Downtowner Motel. We had stayed there on several occasions. Clean rooms for about $50 and even better, within walking distance of four bars, especially that great Bob and Ringo's. We always love it when we can go out drinking and not have to worry about driving, especially in strange towns.

The mayor did say something about B&Bs located near the downtown so might have to check them out.
