Having the Route 66 and Lincoln Highway teams face off is fine, but I want to have some closer to home here in Spring Grove, Illinois (on Route 12). These two highways have been in my life ever since the early 1960s. Both went through Palatine, Illinois, where I lived from 6th grade to freshman year in college. I graduated from Palatine High School.
US-12 is called Rand Road, named after Asa Rand from the Northwest Suburbs of Chicago. Northwest Highway, US-14) got its name from its location, running through the Northwest Suburbs and one of the first to be paved.
These are the teams making it to the 2012 IHSA football playoffs starting this weekend. I'll run it like I do the other competition. Last Man Standing wins.
This fall, I saw Richmond-Burton play two games, Palatine and Fremd play each other and Grant play another playoff team, 8A's Stevenson.
Palatine, Fremd, and St. Viator serve both roads.

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.
