We're starting on a new, longer run of Lincoln Highway murals now. Bill will be here until late June now . . .
Byron, IL is NOT on the LH - but was close enough to be affected by it. They have a drag strip there - so we gave them the story of the transcontinetal speed races . . . Those 'badges' were photos of the originals given to L.B. Miller for one of his efforts . . . the city in the background is actually Byron - superimposed into the design.
