November 11 must be a good day to dedicate highways. After all, that was the day back in 1926, that Route 66 and most of the US highways in the country were dedicated. Tomorrow, it will be Veterans Memorial Tollway's time. That would be I-355.
However, tomorrow, there will be no vehicles on the road. It is estimated that around 9000 people will be walking, jogging, and bicycling on it. The Chicago Tribune had a reporter bike along it and he noted that in some towns, people's houses are practically on top of the tollway, something that they should have known as this road has been under discussion since the late 1960s. He also filmed his ride.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
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.
