On the Road to See Da Eagles-- US-20

Picked up US-20 in Marengo, Illinois. Great small-town Midwest America vibe in this place. The linear Main Street lies along Il-23. If you like old cars, visit Cruising Main, great food and drinks prices, but alas, they dropped NTN a while back, but still worth a visit. One of the homes along 20 is purported to be a stop on the Underground Railroad, but it seems most old towns in the Midwest have at least one home that is supposed to be along with one place Al Capone visited.

I believe I'm going to give Belvidere the name of "Stoplight City." It's just one after another and long waits on the US-20 bypass. Sorry to see the huge Chrysler plant is closing down.

Took Business US-20 into Rockford. This is a major shopping and restaurant area as well as the original US-20 alignment and called State Street. We played NTN at Buffalo Wild Wings and Don Cater Lanes (a bowling alley). Both were new places for us. There are another two NTN sites on State.

More to Come. --RoadDog
