Traveling Through Illinois

If
you have been driving through Illinois on I-55 and exclaimed, “There’s nothing out there but corn!” you aren’t
alone, but you couldn’t be more wrong. Learn why Steven Spielberg
visited Waggoner, Illinois, and what fruit
Abraham Lincoln used to christen the town named after him, as well as what route was frequented by flesh-eating
birds and what antique mall was said to harbor a spaceship. When you travel in
the company of LuAnn Cadden and Ted Cable, every mile marker between Chicago
and St. Louis hides a story, and even grain silos become adventure destinations.
