Giant guitar added to side of the Illinois Rock Museum in Joliet on Route 66.
Nicknamed "Gigantor", the 24-foot tall guitar toured Illinois Route 66 towns and now is in its permanent site. The switch turning it on was thrown by Rick Nielsen of the Rockford, Illinois, band Cheap Trick.
Hard to miss it and now just another thing to see in Illinois along our favorite road. I don't think the museum is open yet, but wow, two of my favorite things in one building.

The Missouri Route 66 Association could take over ownership of the historic Gasconade Bridge as early as this spring. They will then have until 2024 to stabilize the nearly 100-year-old bridge or it goes back to MoDOT.
Well, let's hope they get it stabilized. Sounds like agood time for a fundraiser get-together in Lebanon and a chance to thank Ramona Lehman for all her many years at the Munger-Moss.
