When I think of Route 66, I think of nostalgic journeys down a historic highway. A recent documentary tells an entirely different story as many could not travel its roads safely especially in Missouri and Illinois.
If I were to list all of the places that I'd recommend you'd stop by on historic Route 66, it would take days to read. There is one place in Illinois though that I was reminded is a fun location especially if you love classic cars as it's a grill with dragsters on the roof.
