I wonder about the Sears Tower? Born years after Route 66 died - and does this mean any building in Chicago counts, or did someone actually do the map work? Carptrash 14:00, 30 September 2007 (UTC) reply

U.S. Route 66 was decommissioned in 1985; the US 66 designation still existed in Chicago until 1976. Sears Tower was built in 1973 between W. Adams Street and W. Jackson Blvd. The map work is here ( Google maps now shows historic US 66 as a regular US highway, on West Adams Street in Chicago). Looks valid enough, even if this place is neither a drive-in restaurant, a motel or a filling station it is indeed on US 66. 66.102.83.61 ( talk) 22:54, 21 April 2012 (UTC) reply
