I take these Along66 posts from the Route 66 News blog. If you want to know what is going on along Route 66, this is where you want to go. There is a post or more everyday along with pictures and a lot of information. I just pick out the stories of the most interest to me.
OCTOBER 1
The Boots Court motel was added to the NRHP. I am so glad this icon was brought back to us.
OCTOBER 2
Groundbreaking is set for October 29 for the improvements to the Old Chain of Rocks Bridge site.
The Great Rivers Greenway will hold it October 29 from 10-11:30 am for theimprovements to the west side of the site. These improvements involve increased security, natural features and amenities.
They received a $990,000 grant from the National Park Service.
Crossing that bridge is always one of the highlights of the Illinois Route 66 Motor Tour.
