Chicago, Illinois: Begin Route 66 Sign

A battered brown sign on a lamp post, mounted high enough to prevent theft. The "End Route 66" sign is one block south.
Address:
E. Adams St., Chicago, IL
Directions:
Downtown. On E. Adams St., just west of its intersection with S. Michigan Ave. The sign is mounted so that it faces traffic driving west. It had been on the north side of the street, attached to a light pole, but it's reportedly moved to the south side in front of the Panda Express.
