Hello, and welcome to Midwest Roads! At this very corner of the world wide web I document the history of various places in the Midwest (mostly Illinois). Now before I continue on, I should give some context about this web site. So firstly, I started this web site in 2023 as Ye Old Town Archive (the "Y" is pronounced "Th" for it used to be the letter Thorn in Old English), and it has been all over the place. To which I mean the data entries were inconsistent and not coherently together, which was due to a lack of vision. So I kept redesigning the site until it appears as you see it today, where the site is now manageable (code wise) and I can now more easily fix any issues that arise in the future. So then, with all of that being said, please enjoy your visit!
