New exhibit in Atlanta, Illinois, showcases an original section of Route 66. A 1924 section that is a quarter mile long. It used to be part of Illinois Highway 4, which then became Route 66 in 1926.
It was a part of the first paved road in Logan County, Illinois. Located on the city's north side. We've seen it before and thought it likely was a part of 66 at one time.
Atlanta is one town on the Mother Road that knows how to push their Route 66 heritage. Now, if they'd just replace that hokey smiley face on their water tower with a Route 66 shield, things would be really smiley in that town.

White Fence Farm in Romeoville, Illinois, has lost $2.4 million since the pandemic began.
Third generation owner Laura Hastert has had to cut her staff from 125 to just 40. We've never been able to eat there as they always seem to be closed at the times we drop by.
Well, here's hoping things get better for the White Fence.
