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.

Along66 August 2022: Grants in Illinois and Chenoa's Old Alignment

These Along66 blog entries are taken from the Route 66 News blog.  I just pick out the ones I am most interested in.  There is almost always a post every day with pictures and much more information.  So, if you really want to know what's going on along 66 this site is where you want to go.

AUGUST 1

The Route 66 Experience at the Illinois State Fair gets a $500,000 grant; Old Joliet Prison gets $250,000.

The State Fair plans to use the money to expand their exhibits.  The Old Joliet Prison will use their money on the exterior and illumination.

At the Fair, visitors can walk from Chicago to the Chain of Rocks Bridge.

AUGUST 3

The City of Chenoa, Illinois,  is considering redevelopment of a long abandoned section of Route 66.  Right now you can drive the four-lane 1946-1977 only.  What theprisoy are looking at is the 1926-1945 alignment.
