Here’s a strange coincidence: Two communites along Route 66, hundreds of miles apart, are thinking of building similar Route 66-themed attractions in city parks.
The Cathage Press reports that a city committee for Carthage, Mo., is proposing a new water park.
At the same time, the Pontiac Daily Leader is reporting that Pontiac, Ill., is mulling over a family aquatic center.
Don’t buy your swimsuit yet, however. Both proposals are running into trouble because of higher-than-expected costs.
