June 12, 2011: Downtown Chicago at the “classic” or “traditional” end of US 66.
It is always interesting to be traveling on a lonely Iowa county road and hear news and traffic on WBBM. (Less so to actually BE on the Dan Ryan/Kennedy and hear the same.) The bustling city is six hours away, and I enjoyed walking up and down the Magnificent Mile, but the gravel roads and open skies and peaceful fields have their own magnificence.
