We stayed in Pontiac...one of our favorite Route 66 places. Of course, it took us three days to drive the 99 miles from Chicago to Pontiac. Even more embarrassing is that we barely made the 99 miles in three days.
Terrell figured there would be some really good garage sales in Pontiac. So we are up bright and early and found one. Since that didn't work out, she said to follow this car that stopped at the one garage sale (like they know something we don't). Instead of leading us to another garage sale, I think they were driving aimlessly trying to lose the women in the Ford Fusion. Finally, we found an antique store open and this is where the fun part of the day begins.
Howard Street Antiques & More at 501 W. Howard is owned by Gary (who is somehow related to almost everyone in Pontiac). He had some great stuff and good prices and was a lot of fun to visit.
Visited the Route 66 Museum at 842 S. Walnut and met Jim Jones, a volunteer who gave us additional info for our trip. Pontiac has lots of beautiful murals, too,
and continues to be one of our favorite stops.
