MARCH 27-- Illinois touts Route 66 to young people in its new "Up for Amazing" TV campaign. The series aims at Gen X and Millennials and Route 66 sites are prominent in two of the thirty second ads.
These ads are shown in 13 Midwestern markets through July. The Route 66 shield at the Illinois Route 66 Museum in Pontiac is one of the shots as are quite a few in Chicago.
In case your're wondering, Gen X were born in the mid-60s to early 1980s. Millennials are born from the 1980s to 2000.
I always get a kick out of that Route 66 shield. That is sure impressive.
We also need to keep young people interested in the old roads. I look around at Route 66 gatherings and sure are a lot of us oldsters.
MARCH 30-- Meteor City Trading Post may have a savior. Michael and Joann Brown, from Indiana plan to restore and reopen it. It closed in 2012 and was ransacked.

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.
