There
isn't a whole lot except fast food stuff on this stretch of IL 10/ IL 121. |
This is the abandoned Route 66 in Williamsville.
When I went through the town in March 2003, I thought there wasn't much
there. But I recently got an e-mail from a resident who says the town
is actually "alive and growing" at 1,100 in population. The town
itself is behind the camera and to the left, a part I didn't explore on my
trip. The interstate is just past those buildings, which were gas
stations about 50-60 years ago. |
At
Sherman, Route 66 crosses IL 124, which is quite short, and heads west a few
miles to IL 29 north of Springfield. |
And
IL 4 begins at IL 29 in Springfield, by Route 66. This is called the Veterans
Parkway. |
