But you never see them pulled over for impeding traffic. Then when you call a cop for an actual problem, like 6 of them show up and only one actually does something. And then a hour later they all leave with to my knowledge, nothing resolved. I think I would rather have that overly fat/ partially dork hall monitor from high school show up and help me. At least they take better notes and have some results. But I guess we pay cops just to shoot poor people and people they don't trust so I see why they are in St. Louis

Though it wasn't during the road's heyday (more in its later years....), they want to make sure travelers will stop through their downtown and get a good look at the mill (because without the mill, there would be no Granite City, right?). But as Yelper Steven pointed out, it's a park dedicated to nostalgia and history. I've noticed that a lot of longtime Granite residents love to cling to the past (in a good and bad way) and showing off these old signs and relics is a great start. A mural and large shield are not too far of a walk. You'll find decent parking, be it on the street or at the small lot across the street from the Neon Sign Park. Be sure to check out the few recently installed Muffler Men statues in Granite City, as well as the "Fork in the Road" sculpture!

It's simply a tribute to two things from our past, classic neon signs and the last 100 miles in Illinois of the historic Route 66. If you're driving thru or by Granite City, it is worth the detour to do a couple of selfies in front of the mural. Of course if you can visit the park at night, you'll see the classic neon signs turned on and in all their glory. It's the Centennial of Route 66, so it is the perfect time to go check out, It's Electric.

The MacArthur Bridge is a truss bridge that connects St. Louis, Missouri and East St. Louis,…read moreIllinois. It has a total length of 18,261 feet with the longest span being 677 feet and having 108 feet above the Mississippi River. When completed in 1917, it was the largest double-deck steel bridge in the world. You can see the bridge from the air, of course, or on foot from the Graffiti Mural Mile nearby. From 1929 through 1955, the MacArthur Bridge carried U.S. Highway 66 until the completion of the nearby Poplar Street Bridge. In 1981 the bridge was closed to vehicles because of pavement deterioration and the eastern ramp approaches were torn out. The bridge is now in use only by railroads and is one of the busiest railroad bridges in the United States. The disused vehicle deck has been removed.

Seriously, I do…read morenot know how lucky I can get being called for Jury Duty every two to two and a half years on a regular basis. I do believe, I have definitely served my civic duty. The ambiance of the waiting area is not plush, but you don't need to worry about the decor, you will not be there long. The most important thing to remember about Jury Duty, is to listen. The staff moves things along, very quickly and if they have to repeat themselves, that is when they get gruff. Otherwise, it is rather painless. I brought magazines and both of my iPads, in preparation of a long wait. My start day was Wednesday, not the typical Monday so the selection pool wasn't as large. My number was called in the second group, so no time to play on iPad or read any magazine articles, because once you are in the courtroom all those items are taboo. Once the Voir dire (jury selection) starts, that is when the real entertainment begins. My jury pool was 48 city residents and each and every one of them had some type of story. Some had more then one story, to share with the judge and lawyer. The selection process took close to a full 7 hours. During that time we did get a lunch break, of just over an hour. However, it made for a long day 8 AM - 5:30 PM. I've served on one criminal, two civil (one as foreman) and one grand jury. I guess I had too much experience, because this time I was not selected to serve.
