Illinois Route 66 Events Filming The Famous Three Highways In Illinois
John and Lenore hosted Paul and Sandi Taylor of the ROUTE 66 MAGAZINE. Paul and Sandi are filming for a national network with affiliates in over 30 states reaching over 40 million homes partially sponsored by Suzuki. They approached the Weiss’ with the idea of filming Rt. 66 and two of the original 'blue' highways based on their popular book, "Traveling the Historic Three." This is a 110 mile triangular journey that covers the Lincoln Hwy, the Dixie Hwy into Chicago and Route 66 south to Joliet. Numerous stops were made along the way. An array of interviews showed that true hospitality in the small towns along these blue highways is alive and well.
Historic downtown Frankfort, the town with the 1890s charm, the Arche Fountain, world’s largest pizzeria, a doll house and Rainbow Cone were just a few of many places visited along the way. The Buckingham Fountain was beautiful, as Lake Michigan served as a beautiful backdrop. The food at Del Rhea’s Chicken Basket was roadie fare at its best. Castle Eden couldn’t be missed, nor the charm of the eclectic museum and outdoor petting zoo located at White Fence Farm where seating is available for 1100 folks. The Lincoln Landing, recently dedicated, showcases a unique sculpture of Abe. The Route 66 Visitors Center inside the Joliet Area Historical Museum was fun and memorable for all!
