Click for live Google Street View at this spot | The 'Snappy Convenience' label on the Google Street View image is in Cicero just before entering Berwyn. It is the former site of Bunyon's Hot Dogs, home of a 'Muffler Man' from 1963-2003. That 'Muffler Man' has been moved to Route 66 in Atlanta, IL. | In front of the Citgo station just past the 'Snappy Convenience,' is Berwyn's Welcome to Route 66 Pylon. |
"At the intersection with HarlemAve (IL-43), a choice of alignments is available:
pre 1928
Continue on Ogden Ave. at the intersection with Harlem Ave.
post 1928

quote from The Mother Road: Historic Route 66
8147 Joliet Road, McCook(NE corner of intersection of Joliet Road and Lawndale Avenue), site of TURN-IN-TIME RESTAURANT & LOUNGE ?-~2002. Picture was taken out the window of my Chrysler Fifth Avenue shortly before the building was torn down. Compass Fuel Store currently at the site is shown in the Google Street View image
"There is a detour south of Lyons, bear right onto 55th St. and turn next left onto East Ave. to rejoin Joliet Rd. after 0.5 mile. Joliet Road runs between two quarries, is structurally damaged and unlikely to reopen any time soon."
quote from The Mother Road: Historic Route 66
Site of the Wishing Well Motel 1941-2007(11/13) is a few miles down the Joliet Road after making this right hand turn to get off the detour on East Avenue. rwarn17588.wordpress.com/2007/10/17/wishing-well-motels-razing-is-imminent
"Continue on Joliet Rd."
Burr Ridge
"Continue on Joliet Rd."
quote from The Mother Road: Historic Route 66
"Continue on Joliet Rd. (northern frontage rd.).
Dell Rhea's Chicken Basket on the left before the intersection with IL-83, at 645 Joliet Rd."
quote from The Mother Road: Historic Route 66
This is one spot where Google Street View stops. You can turn left or right on S Madison St but you can't continue on N Frontage Rd. A little further on the left on the Frontage Rd is a Seven-Eleven and then Dell Rhea's Chicken Basket.
"Continue on I-55."
quote from The Mother Road: Historic Route 66
"Exit I-55 onto Joliet Road at exit 269."
