Oddball Illinois: A Guide to Some Really Strange Places

Rating:
Summary: Are there more like this?
Review: What a great travel book for people who want to see the uncommercialized part of our country. We're going to Illinois this summer, and now we can't wait to get there. The author provides directions and regional maps to interesting and sometimes just plain goofy places that a lot of the local residents probably don't even know about. The author's irreverant descriptions and comments, filled in with little-known historical "facts" about famous and infamous people and places have made us laugh out loud.This book reminds me of the old "On the Road" T.V. series when Charles Karault interviewed interesting people in little out-of-the-way communities. I hope this author has more books about other states. I'd love to have one about my area here in Central California. He'd have a field day.
