Wilmington, IL: Gemini Giant and Dino (Historic US-66)

20160603 3347

As I was driving into Wilmington, I saw this statue. I then realized that I was on historic US-66 because I have seen it in brochures. So I went around some blocks and parked to take a picture. It is on the corner of the parking lot of the Launching Pad.

Unfortunately, it is now for sale. I included the sign on the right to catch the US-66 emblem.

A few blocks later, I spotted a dinosaur on top of a building. Fortunately, it was easy to pull in and park to get pictures of the dino. I wonder if this used to be a Sinclair gas station, because that dinosaur reminds me of their trademark.
