For our recent virtual Illinois Route 66 Revival Tour, we ZOOMed southwest on the highway that's the best! One of the stops along the way was in Chicago's Greektown! This is a row of Greek restaurants on Halsted street, intersecting east- and west-bound 66 about a mile west of the BEGIN sign. The community public art display on exhibit along Halsted Street through Spring 2022 is Hello Helios, so I recorded this video featuring some of the statues. As you will see, it's a gas! Here is the 4:33 video that is posted on my YouTube channel:
