CHICAGO. This sign, near the corner
of Adams Street & Michigan, is the popular but not so accurate starting
point for current Route 66 adventures, as the old road heads west from here on
a one-way street. The original starting point for
66 was one block south, on Jackson Blvd., which now runs east. (Look for an
"End of 66" sign there.) In 1933, the start of 66 was moved a block
east, to Lake Shore Dr., so those of us wishing a complete 66 experience must
battle a bit more of Chicago's traffic to circle around on Lake Shore near
Grant Park.
