From the January 11, 2017, MidWeek "looking Back."
1942, 75 Years Ago.
"The Charter Coach Company today was issued a temporary certificate by the Illinois Commerce Commission to operate motor bus service until May 20, 1942, between DeKalb, Sycamore, Genoa, Marengo, Woodstock, McHenry, Volo, Round Lake, Grays Lake and Waukegan."
Bus service will become even more important because of wartime shortages and gasoline rationing.
These towns were in DeKalb, McHenry and Lake counties in northeastern Illinois.

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.
