Begin Route 66 Sign. Cool!
[Brian From Rockland County NY, 10/22/2016]Based on a 2016 street view, older official brown highway signs are still installed on both sides of the street. This more artistic "Historic Route Begins" sign is on the corner of the tiny fenced park at Adams and Wabash.
The sign marking the start of historic Route 66 is located on the south side of Adams in front of the Panda Express.
