Historic Route 66 - Illinois
Historic Downtown Atlanta, IL

Atlanta's compact downtown area has everything a Route 66 lover enjoys. Recently restored authentic murals adorn the exterior of historic buildings and a recently relocated Bunyon Giant maintains order on historic Arch Street. Take a walking tour of this adorable area, and visit the Palms Grill Cafe (opening Spring of 2009) - an authentically restored 1934 diner in its original building. The cafe building also houses historical artifacts managed by the Atlanta Museum.
