Hi everyone!Welcome aboard Eddie's Railfan Page.
During the mid to late 1980's, My family would occasionally visit the Montana Charlie's flea market , located on South Joliet Road in Lemont Illinois. Montana Charlies was just a short distance from the I-55 Stevenson Expressway exit, near the border of Romeoville Illinois. During the spring and early summer, it was nice to come here, stroll around in the fresh air, and occasionally find a nice bargain or two to come home with. We enjoyed coming here in the 80's.

On old Route 66, I do believe??
Yes. Other people that I have spoken to, are telling Me that this is old U.S Route # 66.
Old 66 or the Mother Road as it is known, was replaced by the I-55 Stevenson Expressway in 1962.
However...Several frontage roads and portions of other roads like U.S 53, are original allignment remnants of 66. Illinois unfortunately didn't save much of old U.S # 66.
Thank You.
Eddie.
This is definitely US 66. The Chicken Basket in Hinsdale was also on US 66. I haven't been there in 20 years.
It's in Bolingbrook not Lemont
