Seven Wonders Of Illinois

Recommended Posts

Taking its cue from the current Seven Wonders of the World, the state of Illinois has its own voting going on to pick the top seven spots to see in Illinois. Quite a few are along Illinois' great group of highways.

 

Route 66 still has Buckingham Fountain, Sears Tower, I&M Canal, Bill Shea's, Old State Capitol, Lincoln Tomb, Cozy Dog, and the Catsup Bottle.

 

Lincoln Highway has the Ronald Reagan Home and Der Immigrant windmill, as well as the I&M Canal. Northern Region and these two are in definite danger of being eliminated.

 

US-20 has the Grant Home and main street Galena.

 

US-50 has the white squirrels of Olney.

 

There is weekly voting with the least votegetters being eliminated. Any one can vote, but only once a day.

Alas, no Dog Day for the Cozy. We lost out, but gave it a great try.

They have a nice video of the winners of all seven regions. The Chicago winner was Wrigley field.
