Yesterday’s mail brought me this great promotional item for my upcoming presentation at the Park Ridge Public Library. I am looking forward to this event. I will be talking not only about Route 66, but also the history of some of the roads local to Park Ridge. That is a rich history that includes one of Cook County’s earliest thoroughfares, Northwest Highway (U.S. 14), and several State highways, including 72, 171, and 58. Park Ridge is also served by Metra commuter rail on the historic right of way of the Chicago Northwestern Railroad.
The presentation is on February 26th at 7 p.m. The maximum seating in the venue is 90 people, so the library would appreciate that people register for the event by calling 847-825-3123. Admission is Free. You can also register via their online calendar.
