On today's program we talk small town America by visiting a few very special communities along Route 66. Diminutive Atlanta, Illinois is big on ideas and hospitality. This charming historic town is on the fast track to becoming a destination with weekend events, new bsuinesses, an arcade museum and so much more.
Pontiac, Illinois is THE poster child for historic district revitalization. One of the states top destinations, Pontiac has a diverse array of museums and restaurants, and an infectious passion that ensures smile inducing visits.
Also featured on today's program, Cuba, Missouri and Gallup, New Mexico. Charming communities with a rich and diverse culture that exemplify the very essence of small town America.
And, of course, we have another clue in our Route 66 personality contest. Okay, this fellow played in the World Series.
Today's program is sponsored in part by RouteTrip USA, the bespoke holiday specialists for a grand adventure in the US or Canada.
