From the Jan. 6, 2016, MidWeek.
1941, 75 years ago: "Steps to safeguard the lives of motorists who travel over the Genoa-Belvidere road and must use the Illinois Central underpass west of Genoa will be taken by the county, Genoa people have been informed.
"The pass and curve has been the scene of serious mishaps and to travel over the section at more than ten miles an hour is a dangerous practice."
I have driven this underpass and it is still a bit frightening, but imagine safer as I was going about 35 mph.

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.
