    That was just plain nice of you to let that kid plug his channel and talk to him like that. You are one of the best in the game, my friend, and that's the reason why. The antique store and pizza place were amazing. If I still lived in Illinois, I'd be on my way there now. Oh and that was an apple pie tree. I remember having one in the McDonald's by me in the 70s.

    Another great road trip. Loved that pizza parlor. Have you ever been to one of those pizza places where a train brings you your food? Think there's a few of them in the midwest but forget the name of the place.
    I also love McDonald's nostalgia, that was an apple pie tree from the McDonaldland playgrounds of the 70's.

    Loved this, the Lincolnway thing reminds me of this road we have in the UK called the Great North road, while not aslong as we are quite literally smaller than most US states it goes from the south right up into Scotland as was the main road to London for centuries, while now some parts are disconnected as it was turned into the A1M you can see it's history in the streets it used to pass through with the Old Inns and coachhouses.
    I loved the Pizza place massively and the Candy dispensers (I hope you remembered your Gumball from the sword fighters and the machine in Scotts would've been in my hands in seconds) and the tour of Scotts as these are my kinda places, so Uncle Carpetbagger where to next?

    Well, Jacob, a pickled punk even one of plastic, is sure some oddity that i wouldn't put up for display in my living room. By following you on the lincoln highway so far i found that it is a little more original and oddity-rich than route66. i think they each add their own little things to the East-West tracking and both complement each other. And they are probably as significant to the binding of all the states and uniting them as the railroad was.
    Epic, and honored to be able to follow you on this trip.
