Random Attractions: Dwight, IL

These sights are just one of the many little attractions that makes Route 66 charming.



Just down the street from the Texaco station in Dwight, stands this structure. As you can it is all decked out in vintage gas pumps and other memorabilia.

And directly in front of that, lies a "Historic Route 66" painted shield on the road. It keeps you in check and lets you know you're still cruising on the Mother Road.

Sad News: Riviera Roadhouse Destroyed

The Riviera Roadhouse is no more! It was burned down this past June in what is labeled a "suspicious" fire. Such a sad ending to a wonderful and historic place.
