| Big Chicken at White Fence Farm - Romeoville, Illinois |
ROMEOVILLE, ILLINOIS. The old Chicago suburbs of Cicero and Berwyn were a
bit rundown and depressing, and I didn't pull over at any of the local
66 sites that I had seen and photographed before, such as the
Cindy Lyn Motel or Castle Car Wash. I've
also heard that the Spindle, the wonderfully appropriate piece of 66
art (8 cars stacked on a spike), is no longer at a nearby shopping
center. Still, if it had not been so early, I would have stopped for
sure at Henry's Drive-In, for a close look at the big neon sign and a 66
size hot dog.
My first pull-over of the day was at White Fence Farm in
Romeoville, to see the big chicken and to be able to report to the rest
of the Romeo family that a town was indeed named after us. The restaurant has been serving regular size chicken dinners since the 1920's.
