Looking Back at the Lincoln Highway in Dekalb County, Illinois-- Part 2

I still haven't figured out a definitive answer to what a "cigeroot" is.

With Halloween approaching, perhaps it was some ghostly apparition.

From the Looking Back section of the October 13th Dekalb Midweek paper.

There was a picture of a bond rally at the Dekalb Armory at 320 E. Locust St., on October 21, 1919, accompanying the article.

From OCTOBER 12, 1935:

"Police, at the suggestion of the city council, will make an effort tonight to stop double parking in the business district, on the Lincoln Highway, as a means of determining to what extent the ban on double parking can be enforced should the council take such action.

No arrests will be made tonight, it was stated, the police to confine themselves to warning motorists that it is against state law to double park on state highways."

That state highway would be Il-38, which replaced the Lincoln Highway through Dekalb. So, even back then, they had parking problems in Dekalb. They still exist today, especially around the NIU campus.
