Route 66 in Atlanta, Illinois

When I was doing the A to Z Challenge last month, my letter 'R' was for 'Route 66'.  I mentioned that I had driven it in 1975 from San Bernardino, CA to St. Louis, MO.  Well, on my trip last week I drove it from Springfield, Illinois to Joliet.  Over the next few Saturdays, I will post pictures from various cities on the Route, letting them tell their own story.  First up is Atlanta, Illinois.

Heading to Funk's Grove in Shirley to buy maple sirip.  And no, I did not misspell it.
 
 
Next stop, Pontiac.
 
Have a safe and happy Memorial Day weekend.

    Interesting. Some of the weekend GMA people did a trip on Route 66 a while back, it was interesting. So is your blog. I gather the road surface is pretty bad in places.

      The part I drove on for this trip was not too bad. I hope to do Joliet to Chicago later this year.
