Thinking it was a library we looked through the window of a building, and seeing us this nice lady below showed us around the Billie Limacher Bicentennial Park. I have the name somewhere, but it’s pack in a suitcase. Will update the blog when we’re home.
“This is one of the right relief sculptures that adorned the four turrets atop the 1884 Will County Courthouse. When the courthouse was demolished in 1968, Will County Board historian Billie Limacher was instrumental in having them saves and stored. In 1997 city manager John Mezera commissioned Joliet artist Marsha Lega to repair and restore them to their natural beauty.” — Plaque next to the relief.
A nice view across the canal.
Still in Joliet we went to the Route 66 Museum (well, one of many Route 66 museums.)
Below the original costumes from the Blues Brothers lent by Judy, John Belushi’s widow.
The “Spitz 512 star projector & control controller.”
Lunch somewhere then to the Final Hotel.
