Some of the Discussion in the Route 66 e-mail group in Yahoo centers on a proposed new Veteran's Memorial/Rest Area north of Sherman, Illinois (located north of Springfield). The mayor of the town made a presentation at the Route 66 Association's quarterly meeting this last weekend and also showed a rendering of the project.
It looks impressive and will be another credit to the state's stretch of Route 66 is it comes to be.
This will use a small section of unused Route 66 which will be used as a walk path.
There was also some suggestion that it be named for Ton Teague who was so instrumental in founding the Illinois Route 66 Association.
I hope this happens and that it has Tom's name. It would be a fitting memorial to him.

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.
