It winds from Chicago to LA,
More than two thousand
miles all the way.
Get your kicks on Route 66.
-Bobby Troup, 1945
As the song says, Route 66
begins in Chicago. However, the
song does not say why, nor does
it tell us an important fact: without
Chicago there would be no Route
66! To tell the story of how Route
66 was born, we need to look
much further back—to 1834, when
Chicago was incorporated as a
village with a population of 350.
Back in 1834, Chicago was
little more than a swamp, but its
namesake river was to become
part of a chain of waterways linking
New York City with the American
frontier. A canal was to be built
linking the Chicago River—that
flowed into the Great Lakes via
Lake Michigan—to the Illinois River,
a tributary of the Mississippi River
system. To the east, the Erie Canal
and the Hudson River connected
NYC to the Great Lakes. Chicago
was the transfer point between
lake traffic and the vast reaches of
the western half of the continent.
With the promise of great future
wealth in mind, people flocked to
swampy Chicago in search of a
dream of better days.
The Illinois & Michigan Canal
opened in 1848, and that same
year saw the completion of
Chicago’s first railroad. While the
canal was the reason for Chicago’s
existence, it was the railroad that
led to the city becoming the
Gateway to the West. Twentythree trunk line railroads radiated
out of Chicago like spokes from
a wheel hub. All eastern railways
terminated in the Windy City,
where passengers could board
western trains bound for the frontier
and the Pacific Coast. Many of
those—the Chicago Northwestern,
the Rock Island, and the Atchison,
Topeka & Santa Fe—promised by
the early 20th century to deliver
passengers from Chicago to L.A.
in—66 hours! The trip from Chicago
to L.A. proved to be an important
connection—linking the historic
Gateway to the West with the new
commercial capital of the west
coast.
The trails blazed by waterways
and rails were the first to be traced

by the automobile. In 1925, the
American Association of State
Highway Officials (AASHO) formed
a committee of five people
to create a map linking state
highways with uniform numbering
to assist motorists traveling across
the
country. Transcontinental
and principal east-west routes
were assigned multiples of 10. U.S.
Highways 20, 30, 40, 50, 70, and 80
were all marked from Atlantic to
Pacific. The lone exception was
the crescent-shaped route from
Chicago to Los Angeles marked as
U.S. 60. The committee felt that one
route preserving “the prevailing
flow of traffic” from Chicago to the
west via St. Louis “would inevitably
be one of the most heavily traveled
U.S. Highways.”
The map drew immediate fire
from Kentucky Governor William
Fields, who felt that U.S. 60 should
be routed east from St. Louis
through Kentucky to the Atlantic
at Newport News, Virginia. U.S. 50
passed north of Kentucky, and
U.S. 70 passed to the south. To
Governor Fields, Chicago politics
had stolen away his primary
highway! He pointed to the fact
that three of the five committee
members that had drawn the
map were interested parties in the
Chicago-to-L.A.
highway—they
were the heads of the highway
departments in Illinois, Missouri,
and Oklahoma. He threatened
to remove Kentucky from the U.S.
highway system unless U.S. 60 was
re-routed through his state.
The backers of the Chicago-toL.A. route would not back down in
their insistence that this important
corridor be represented by a
single number. After rejecting a
compromise that would have
changed the Illinois portion to 60N,
for 60 North, they went back and
noticed that the number 66 had
not yet been assigned.They agreed
to let the Kentucky Governor have
his Route 60, and they preserved
the connection between Chicago
and Los Angeles with Route 66.
If not for the high regard of
the original map makers for the
importance of “a single numbered
highway connecting Chicago
with Los Angeles through St. Louis,”
there would have been no reason
to fight for Route 66. We can truly

Al Capone
By John & Lenore Weiss
As the story goes…
When Helmet Art Stephens was a child, he would
go with his grandfather
to collect rent from his
tenant, Al Capone. Of-
ten Al would pay the old
man $30.00 rent and give
an extra $20.00 and say
“Don’t gamble it all away!”
Mr. Stephens also recalls
that around the Fourth of
July. Al Capone would give
$100.00 to each of the
fireworks vendors scattered around Cicero, Illinois. He would instruct
these vendors to supply all
the local kids with whatever
fireworks they wanted.
It was also said that Big Al
was very generous in other
ways to his community of
Cicero. It was vey important that no bad publicity
would occur in his town.
Another rule Al had was
that no one should whistle
at a pretty girl. Mr. Capone
felt it was disrespectful. It
was very foolish to disobey
Big Al’s rules.

say there would be no Route 66
if not for Chicago. Therefore, you
cannot get ALL your kicks on Route
66 without coming to Chicago—
the place where the road begins!

The Lady in Red
You may have heard the
story of how the FBI and
police associates gunned
down the infamous public
enemy number one, John
Dillinger. It happened in 1934
at the Biograph Movie
Theater on north Lincoln
Street in Chicago. The FBI
had plans to capture and/
or kill Dillinger as he was
leaving the theater after
watching the movie, “Manhattan Melodrama.” The
FBI told all the g-men that
they could easily recognize
Dillinger even if he was in
disguise. You see, they had
arranged with his gal pal,
Anna Sage, who would be
with Dillinger, to be wearContinued NextPage

ing an all red outfit. The
rest is history. Forever,
Anna Sage would be known
as “The Lady in Red.”
In 1935 Anna Sage was
deported to Romania. But
before she left, she lived
in a second floor apartment on Water Street
just north of Route 66
in Wilmington. For protection she was always accompanied by her two large

German shepherds.
Also, as the story goes,
Melvin Purvis was in charge
of the FBI group that
gunned down Dillinger. Later, after he retired, Melvin
Purvis committed suicide
with the same gun he used
to shoot John Dillinger.
Also of interest – the
current building owner says
he is not sure if the story

about Anna Sage living there is or not. It is also interesting to mention that his downstairs pub is called the
BLIND MULE. Yes, that’s another story. Ask him about
it!
Ice skating rink
Early business entrepreneurs used their imagination
to succeed in ways we never would today. The famous
Dell Rhea’s Chicken Basket is one of those great early
pioneers. They were located on the busy Route 66 but
needed a gimmick to draw folks off of the road into
their restaurant. So in winter, they would flood the flat
roof on the restaurant. This created an ice skating rink.
The water spigots are still on the roof.

Dairy Queen
The first Dairy Queen opened on June 22, 1940,
at 501 N. Chicago Street, Joliet, Illinois. Chicago
Street is original Route 66. It was named Dairy
Queen because the founder believed this new
tasty treat was the Queen of dairy products. The
building still stands.
The Drug Heist
A truck was traveling on Route 66. The contents were a load of drugs destined for a Walgreen’s store in Chicago. Just outside the town
of Wilmington, the truck was forced off the
road. The driver was tied up and blindfolded. Eventually the driver was let loose out on the streets
of Chicago. However, he had an idea of where the
drugs have been brought to because he heard and
recognized some church bells. With this information, the police successfully found the truck full of
drugs and arrested the desperados. As it turns out
they were cronies
of Al Capone.

Odell Tunnel
The hard road, Route 66, brought prosperity to many small towns. With it came unexpected problems. One such problem was experienced in Odell, Illinois. The St. Paul Church
and school were located on the other side
of Route 66. Virtually all students and church
goers had to cross Route 66. Even the
Continued Next Page

nun’s home was across the
street from the church.
This was very dangerous
because, during most of
the day, traffic was bumper to bumper. There were
no stop signs or stop and
go lights on Route 66 in
Odell.
The solution chosen was
to build a tunnel under
Route 66 directly in front
of the church. The tunnel is
now sealed, but remnants
and plaque that tells the
story still remain. In those
days it was called a subway.
The Odell parochial school
(grade and high) is on Route
66 and a subway has been
constructed during the
summer of 1934 to protect
children from the east side
of town.

The Flat Tire
The famous singer, Nat
King Cole, was traveling with his wife and children on Route 66. Near
the community of Cayuga,
their automobile had a flat
tire. They sat on the side
of the road for some time
as traffic flowed past. No

one had any idea of who was in this disabled
car. Finally a farmer from Odell came along. He
stopped to help. He changed the tire for them.
Mrs. Cole tried to pay this Good Samaritan, but
he refused the offer. The Cole family asked his
name and where he lived. With a wave, Nat King
Cole and family continued on their way down
Route 66.
But the story does not end there. A couple
of weeks later the helpful farmer was surprised
when a truck pulled up and delivered one of those
new contraptions called a television set. It was
a gift from the Cole family.
It’s also interesting to note, that it was Nat
King Cole who first recorded the hit song,
“Get your kicks on Route 66”.
Old Log Cabin
The most well known structure to bee rearranged is the Old Log Cabin restaurant relocated on Route 66 in Pontiac, Illinois. In 1926,
this famous eatery was successfully serving the
growing number of travelers on Route 66.
But this popularity of Route 66 soon presented a problem. A new, four lane bypass alignment
of Route 66 was constructed. As a result, the
rear of the building faced this new and improved
highway. To solve this dilemma, the originally
structure was lifted up and turned around to
bring the front of the building to face the entire the huge number of Route 66 travelers.
The ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit of
these mom and pop establishments is what
makes the road continue to be so magical…
B-P&J
An interurban railroad was being built to run
from Bloomington through Pontiac to Joliet
in Illinois.
The folks who did ride the never completed
train line, nicknamed it the BUMP, PUSH &
JERK (B-P&J).
The rail line ended up servicing only the towns
of Pontiac, Odell and Dwight. It ceased operations in 1925 replaced by the paved road alongside it that would be known in 1926 as Route
66.

John and Lenore Weiss All of Route
66 and her “Roadies” owes a debt
of gratitude to dearly departed
(Lenore Weis) for her years of
support and hard work!
This beautiful old gas station was built in 1932 and served travelers on
Route 66 until the mid 1960s when it stopped selling gas. This station
then was used as a body shop until it closed its doors in 1975. Years of
neglect took their toll on this old Standard station. The station would
have disappeared if it had not been for the preservation efforts of the
Illinois Route 66 Association and their Preservation Committee. A total of
$55,000, from grants, matching funds and donations was raised to restore
this station to its former glory - not bad for a grass roots effort. John and
Lenore Weiss were the driving force behind this restoration. These two,
along with the dedicated volunteers from the Preservation Committee, did what others said couldn’t be
done. Hampton Inn® even donated $10,000 for this worth while project. In fact it could be said that the Odell
Station preservation project was the start of Hampton’s interest in Route 66 with their Save-A-Landmark®
project. Now this station has been restored to its former glory. The Odell Station may not sell gas anymore, but
it has become a Mecca for the Route 66 road wanderer and is the focus of many car rallies and motorcycle
tours. It also makes one heck of a photo opportunity as I hope you can tell
from these pictures.
Odell has some classic Route 66 structures and history and is a picturesque
small Illinois town. As you enter the town from Dwight you’ll pass an old
Mobil Station on the right, now closed. This is a familiar station design dating
back to the 1950s and speaks of Odell’s Route 66 heritage. Next door, old
vintage gas pumps adorn the yard of a house. Odell is proud of its Route
66 heritage.
A block down from the old Mobil station an old Catholic Church stands
along Route 66. During the golden era of Route 66 there was a tunnel
under Route 66 right here between the school and church. The tunnel
was constructed because traffic was so heavy on the old road. It allowed
children and adults alike safe passage to and from the church. It was filled
in after Route 66 and Odell was bypassed by the Interstate. Perhaps the
real gem at Odell is the newly restored Odell Standard Station - another
successful project of the Illinois Route 66 Preservation Committee.

The Wheelbarrow Man
In the 1940’s there was a fellow by the name of GORDON LIGHTFOOT. His goal was to push a wheel barrow around the world.
While Mr. Lightfoot was traveling along Route 66, he would offer to
carry the mail for the various post offices from town to town that he
was passing through.
No one knows what happened to Mr. Lightfoot or if he ever made it
around the world.

Rialto Square
Theatre Balcony
The magnificent Rialto
Square Theater in Joliet
opened its doors on May
24, 1926. That is six months
before Chicago Street became Route 66. The Rialto
sat proudly alongside Route
66 and lived up to its billing
as “A palace for the people!”
One of the marvelous
aspects of this grand theatre is that there are no
posts holding up the large
balcony. In 1925 some skeptics said it would collapse.
So, on October 23rd, 1925,
workers demonstrated the
strength by doing a “Balcony test load.” They filled
the balcony with 110,000
pounds of sand bags to
demonstrate its strength.
The Rialto Square Theatre and its balcony can still
be enjoyed today. Its is also
interesting to mention
that when Liberace first
appeared on stage, he declared, “At last, a theatre
to match my wardrobe!”

Coondog Johnny
The tropics restaurant in Lincoln, IL. was originally built by Coondog Johnny. He made his money by distributing moonshine during
prohibition for Al Capone.
At one time, Johnny had an underground warehouse that could

LINCOLN
Illinois
Lincoln Home National Historic Site
A self taught lawyer with only one year of frontier schooling, Abraham Lincoln rode his horse into Springfield in 1837 with all his belongings
in two saddlebags. Mary Todd, who arrived two years later, was well educated and from a prominent Kentucky family. Despite their contrasting backgrounds, they were wed on November 4, 1842. In 1844 the young couple bought a small cottage at the corner of Eighth and Jackson
streets. Here, three of their four children were born, and one died. While living in this house Lincoln enjoyed great success as a lawyer and was
considered one of the state’s best courtroom attorneys. His legal practice regularly took Lincoln away from Springfield up to three months at a
time in spring and fall. Their children certainly made the house a lively place, but Mary often felt alone without her husband present.
Lincoln began his political career by serving eight years in the Illinois House of Representatives between 1834 and 1842. He was elected to the
U.S. House of Representatives in 1846, where he served one term. He was nominated in June 1858 to run for the U.S. Senate, a race he lost to
Stephen Douglas. But this campaign, with its Lincoln-Douglas debates, set the stage for his ultimate achievement-election as 16th President of
the United States.
Before leaving for Washington D.C., the Lincolns rented out the house and sold most of their household furnishings, storing a few in anticipation of their return to Springfield. On February 11, 1861, the Lincolns left Springfield by train. Lincoln summed up his life in Springfield to the
crowd gathered at the station with these simple words:
“...To this place, and the kindness of these people, I owe everything...”
56
LINCOLN
Illinois
The Lincolns sat for
these photographs
in 1846, their earliest known portraits.
By May 1844, Abraham and Mary Lincoln needed more living space for their young family and decided to buy a home.
They selected a Greek Revival-style cottage (drawing at
right) at the corner of Eighth and Jackson streets owned by
the Reverend Charles Dresser, who performed their marriage ceremony in 1842. Lincoln paid $1,500 for the home
the family would occupy for the next 17 years.
Over the years the Lincolns enlarged the house to accommodate their growing family. In 1846 they added
a downstairs bedroom. Most dramatic were improvements in 1855-56, when the Lincoln’s expanded the
story-and-a-half cottage to a full two-story house.
Their now substantial home became the center of national attention during Lincoln’s 1860
presidential campaign. Only a simple nameplate on the front door reading “A. Lincoln”
told the many visitors they had arrived at
the home of the future President. After the
election the Lincolns gave away or sold
most of their furnishings and arranged to
rent out the house to Lucian Tilton, president of the Great Western Railroad. The
Tiltons regularly indulged the curious with
tours of President Lincoln’s home.
Following Lincoln’s assassination in 1865,
thousands of grieving citizens descended on Springfield. The house became
a focus of mourning for a stunned
nation.

Lake Springfield
Mr. Frank used to walk to school by way of the road that
eventually became Route 66. It now is under Lake Springfield. He would
walk daily under the railroad viaduct to and from school. In the 1930s, this
area south of the viaduct was flooded in order to create the manmade
Lake Springfield. Mr. Frank remembers the many sharp curves on Route
66. He also recalled that it was all brick. This street is now called North
Cotton Hill Road.
58
SPRINGFIELD
North Cotton Hill Road
At some point after 1930, North
Cotton Hill Road out of Springfield
was Rt. 66 until Lake Springfield
was built and the land flooded.
You can still see where Old 66
disappears into the lake and
where it emerges again on the
other side. At Toronto Road exit on
I-55 south of Springfield turn left
and proceed to North Cotton Hill
Road. Turn right and follow North
Cotton Hill Road until you reach
the barricade. You must hoof it
from that point on! This is the view
from the barricade looking South.
This is a second barricade further
down the road. Off on the left side
is what looks like a old roadside
table location.
This is as far as you can walk. Old
66 continues on under this railroad
bridge, under water!
This is just one of many concrete
route markers that appear along
both sides of this alignment. The
letters are “STATE”.
The view back north from the
barricade of North Cotton Hill
Road {Old 66}.
To get to the other side, retrace
your route back out to I-55 South.
Take exit 88 and turn left on East
Lake Shore Drive. Proceed to
County Road 1.25E. This is again
Old 66. Turn left and follow CR1.25E
to a barricade. This is the view
looking north from the barricade.
Under all the leaves and stuff is Old
Rt. 66 coming back up out of the
lake.
This is Old 66 looking south from
the barricade.
This is Old Rt. 66 farther south from
the lake. Follow CR1.25E around a
series of curves where it becomes
CR1E. This section of the route ends
where it is severed by I-55. You can
continue on the frontage road
to cross I-55 and rejoin the later
alignment just south of Glenarm.

Traveling the Mother Road in and around the
Springfield area offers many memorable experiences
with iconic Route 66 stops and the most remarkable
Lincoln historic sites in the country. Bill Shea’s Route
66 Gas Station Museum is home to some of the finest
Route 66 collectibles you’ll ever see. Bill pumped gas
along Route 66 for nearly four decades and kept
everything he could put his hands on: oil cans, calendars, signs, a 15-cent-a-pack cigarette machine, old cash registers, an oil company pump jack
and more. Today, Bill’s an iconic figure of the road, known around the world. Shea’s, located along at 2075 Peoria Road is open year round: Tues –
Friday 8am -4pm and Saturday 8am-noon.
As far back as the mid 1940s, customers were gobbling up Ed Waldmire’s 15-cent Cozy Dogs. Over the years the Cozy Drive In became a highway
legend. Waldmire created his hot-dog-on-a-stick in 1945 and introduced it at the Illinois State Fair the following year where it “sold like hotcakes.”
Inside the diner, located on Old Route 66 since 1949, you’ll find an amusing selection of Route 66 memorabilia, souvenirs, and delightful taste treats.
The Cozy Drive In has been inducted into the Route 66 Hall of Fame and named one of USA Today’s “50 Great Plates in America.” The Waldmire
family still makes the delicacy daily: Monday – Saturday 8am-8pm at 2935 S. Sixth Street, Springfield. (217)525-1992 http://www.cozydogdrivein.

The Route 66 Twin Drive In Theatre takes you back to Route 66’s heyday. One of the few remaining drive in movie theaters, the drive in offers you

Drive, Springfield, the drive in is open nightly at dusk from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day. (217) 546-8881. http://www.route66-drivein.
