In order to encourage Illinois tourism on the old âMother Roadâ, the State of Illinois placed âHistoric Route 66â signs along the old route about 1995. The signs are along Rt. 53 through Braidwood.

Cheese of the day: Find over 1750 specialty cheeses from 74 countries in the world's greatest cheese resource. Sunlight is a semi-firm, raw goat's milk cheese aged for at least 60 days, during which it develops a sticky, pale orange rind and a medium intense, creamy mouthfeel. It has the best of both worlds: the textural features of a rustic Spanish cheese and the pungent aroma and rind of an Alpine wheel. Grate/melt it over burgers, paninis, sandwiches, or savoury bread puddings. Enjoy the cheese with a Belgian ale, hard cider, or fruit-driven white such as GewÃ¼rztraminer or Riesling. Made from unpasteurized goat's milk.
