The Maid-Rite in Springfield, Illinois first opened its doors in 1924! It is the oldest drive-thru restaurant in the United States. The restaurant is a part of Route 66, but was in business at least two full years before Route 66 was a national road. In July 2024, the restaurant will celebrate its centennial. There's nothing quite like a sandwich here, they're made just right.

I enjoy roadside attractions, Americana, historical sites, theme parks, and quirky places of interest. Although I tend to focus on travel, history, literature, theatre, and film, my interests are vast. I particularly enjoy visiting the weird and unusual; the places and things sometimes overlooked. There are stories and history all around us. It is my goal to unlock these stories and share them with the world.
