Nasty wind gusts Sunday afternoon knocked off part of the decorative scrollwork of the main sign of the Rialto Square Theatre, located on Route 66 in Joliet, Ill., reported the Herald-News.
Fortunately, no one was hurt when the sign chunk came crashing down, although an adjacent street was closed. Workers were already busy repairing the sign Monday. Click on the newspaper link above for plenty of photos from the scene.
How strange! My parents were just at the Rialto on Sunday – their first day on the Route. I think the storm must’ve come through after they left Joliet.
