http://route66today.blogspot.com/2009/03/tomorrows-past.html
Pictures and commentary on what remains of historic Route 66. Thursday, March 5, 2009. Quantum physics aside, experience tells us that today's present is always tomorrow's past. It's simple to look around at things that aren't here anymore, shake your head, and say, 'How could they abandon that? Or 'How could they just let that deteriorate? March 6, 2009 at 8:30 PM. This is your best post yet, reminded me of dad. I like, "We can't save every beater." But we can try! March 17, 2009 at 5:57 PM. Is licensed...

Stories from The Mother Road. Friday, October 2, 2009. Underground Tunnel: Odell, IL. Rolling down the streets of the sleepy little town of Odell, IL it is hard to believe that the Route was so busy that it required a tunnel to be constructed. Across the street from St. Paul Catholic Church lies the underground subway. The traffic along the Route was so congrested at the time, that for the safety of church-goers and schoolchildren, a tunnel was constructed in 1937 for everyone's safe passage.

Stories from The Mother Road. Friday, April 2, 2010. Riviera Roadhouse: Gardner, IL. The Riviera Roadhouse is one of those places just dripping in history. Al Capone hid liquor here and film stars such as Tom Mix and Gene Kelly ate at the Roadhouse. The Riviera was built in 1928 by businessman James Girot. It is not just one building but rather the result of buildings being slapped together from Gardner and Wilmington being moved to the present location. Sputty T. Sputnik. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
