This fascinating video by Illinois Tourism shows how reopening the historic Palms Grill Cafe improved the coffers of the Route 66 town of Atlanta, Ill.
And the town didn’t benefit just financially.

That 43 percent increase in sales-tax revenue should get a lot of people’s attention.
Great story. Thanks for posting. Hope to make this segment of Route 66 this year.
I’ve been in love with this little town since I first visited many years ago. It’s just amazing what they have done with what they have.
