SUNDAY STORY

Route 66-based story (by OC,SH’s founder, inspired by his 09/2009 Route 66 road trip)

 

OC,SH ALERT:
Thanks to Facebook not allowing a video to be uploaded, I stepped even more out of my comfort zone & opened a new, rough YouTube channel!  I plan to upload all videos there, but for now, check out NON-LIVE # 4 HERE & a list of all VIDEOS HERE.

 

CHAPTER 63: HALL OF FAME MUSEUM

With the youngest sibling’s WSM radio remote set to begin around noon, the brothers & their cousin & his wife arrived at the Illinois Route 66 Hall Of Fame & Museum in Pontiac just before 11a, giving them plenty of time to check out the museum’s displays prior to the youngest having to start prepping for the broadcast, live from the museum’s studio.

After parking across the street from the front of the building, they walked around to the back to check out the Chevrolet bus that served as Bob Waldmire’s home for a while:

They also saw this display behind the museum:

Then, they walked back to the front & entered the museum. They took their time walking through the displays & talking with those who were also visiting. Seeing this display of license plates…

…the eldest made a mental note to start keeping track of all of the different state license plates he saw along the rest of the trip. He also made a mental note to grab a few more pics before they left after his brother’s broadcast.

The foursome took in the upper level displays prior to the youngest starting to prep for the show. Since the museum has a vintage studio, the youngest didn’t need his equipment. Even so, about 20 minutes before the broadcast, the 2 brothers went out to the tan 1976 Caprice Classic to retrieve the equipment … just in case.

I took all pics…
