The Kankakee (Ill.) Daily Journal published a fine feature article about John and Lenore Weiss of nearby Wilmington, who have collectively done more for Route 66 preservation in the past 10 years than just about anyone I can think of.
The story also reveals what they’re have in store for future projects:
They plan to work on several more projects this year — restoration of the old Log Cabin Restaurant structure not far from this bridge in Pontiac; The Mill, a restaurant in Lincoln in an old Dutch windmill; and a 1936 gas station building in Bloomington.
I knew about the Bloomington gas station and the The Mill. But preservation work on the Log Cabin Restaurant is a welcome development, too.
