These come from the Route 66 News site which is now celebrating its 15th year of service providing up-to-date news about our favorite road, the good ol' Mother Road.
There is at least one current story every day on it, and often, more than one. I just pick out the stories of most interest to me (which means Illinois and Missouri especially) and I write some of what was in the Route 66 News post and sometimes have a comment on it. They also have videos and pictures.
So, if you're looking for the best up-to-date information on the Mother Road, this is where you want to go.
*********************************************
AUGUST 1-- David Clarks Zoom video conferences titled "Route 66 in Chicago: Where the Road Begins" will be on August 6 (well, too late now). It will be a virtual tour of the road in Chicago.
He will host another Zoom video event September 6, "Diners, Snake Pits & Long-Haul Trucking: The Commerce of Route 66. There will be future episodes on Al Capone and Frank Lloyd Wright. All scheduled for the sixth of the month.
Dave Clark calls himself the Windy City warrior and has written three books and written dozens of articles. He does Zoom as well as walking and driving tours and his website is at Windy City Road Warrior.com
I would seriously doubt that anyone knows more about Route 66 in the Chicagoland area than Dave. I have seen talks by him as well as once took a walking tour with him that was very informative. Just be forewarned, though, Dave walks very, very fast.
