From the December 3, 2012, Lincoln (Ill) Courier "Atlanta project will redesign Rt. 66 shield" by Gatehouse News Service.
Midway between Chicago and St. Louis, the little town of Atlanta, Illinois, knows how important its Route 66 heritage is, unlike the bigger nearby cities of Bloomington-Normal. Their little downtown is very Route 66-friendly and about to get even more so this summer.
They are running a "Rt. 66 Reinterpreted" art project, modeled on Chicago's famous Cows on Parade one. Artists get to do their thing on a blank 2 x 2 foot wooden cut-out shield painted white. The only thing they have to do is incorporate the text "Illinois, U.S. 66" somewhere on it.
Contestants have to be age 16 or older and they will take up to fifty entries.
The entries will be displayed May 1 to August 31st.

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.
