Dixie Bee Highway

Or was it the Dixie Bee Line. Or was it the Dixie Bee Road. Finding information on this road is very difficult. I've never heard of it, but Denny Gibson had.

I did some research and found that the Dixie Bee Line ran from Chicago to Nashville along today's US-41 and US-241.

Another , National Auto Trails, listed the Dixie Bee Line as starting in Chicago and the towns it went through:

Danville in Illinois
Terre Haute, Vincennes and Evansville in Indiana
Henderson and Hopkinsville in Kentucky
Springfield and Nashville in Tennessee.

I definitely saw the name in Terre Haute on both road signs plus a school and shopping center.

Part of the route was the old Dixie Highway which might have been part of the reason for the name. US-41 goes through Chicago today, but then into Indiana, running along the western border of the state to Evansville.
