The city council of Atlanta, Illinois, has voted to create the position of tourism development director with a salary of $20,00. That is sure a lot of money for a city of just 1,600 people, but they know how important tourist dollars are and they have certainly done a lot with their Route 66 heritage.
Now, if they would just please get rid of the Smiley face on their water tower, life would be good.

An interesting article has appeared about the landing of a World War II bomber on Route 66 in Springfield, Illinois.
A bomber pilot made an emergency landing on Route 66 in Springfield, Illinois, in 1942 and then took off from the same road after his plane was repaired.
