Chenoa was next and we couldn't find anything at all downtown by the gazebo. Finally found Redbird Antiques and got our puzzle piece (all 12 towns had puzzle pieces you could collect) and were told it the food and entertainment had been moved to a park because a building near the Chenoa Pharmacy was in danger of collapsing into the street.
Lexington had garage sales downtown, but the main party was on Old Route 66. I finally got the pork chop sandwich I had been wanting at Chenoa along with a decent corn dog and root beer float.
Towanda had a really nice festival going on in the park with a band, food, and lots of vendors. We stopped at Schenk's Garage on the way out and Dawn told us she was having a band on Sunday and invited us.
We actually were able to follow Route 66 signage through that pesky subdivision in Normal and saw the Sprague Gas Station. Played NTN at Maguire's and Buffalo Wild Wings (where we saw the Derby). Also had a drink at Mugsy's and got a room at the Super 8. Split an order of fried onion at the nearby Lone Star Steakhouse and Saloon.

Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
