There was a very nice gentleman / volunteer who was truly committed to the site providing interesting and helpful information not just about the station, but the surrounding area.

A pilgrimage to see this outsized spaceman makes for a fun and fast day trip from the Chicago area, so get your kicks on Route 66 and come check him out!

This was a nice quick little stop to see a jail that is a relic from the past and that is open to the public. In the little area of the jail, there is a tribute to an old diner, Reverend Christian Christiansen, and an American Legion memorial. Both jail cells are open and interact-able for all your fun photo taking. Each one has a plastic skeleton inside. They must be serving a few life sentences. There is also a guestbook to sign and some Route 66 travel guides to snag, if you want to find more fun stuff to do. The two-cell jail is a fun little 10 minute stop along Route 66. A great place to pay tribute to a few different things and see a relic from the past. If some Route 66 memorabilia is something you are looking to buy, there is a Route 66 shop over and across the street to get: postcards, magnets, stickers, and various other things.

This review is for the soccer department. After watching my 7 year old play 2 games I noticed she…read morewasnt getting very much game time. I complained as it was basically statically impossible to play as little as she did compared to the other kids especially the coaches daughter. They had 10 people with 7 positions yet somehow my kid sat the bench at the start of every quarter and played less than 50% of the game. All while the coaches daughter played the whole game. I confronted him about it and that guy actually told me that he doesnt believe in fair play and that because his kid puts more effort into practice that she deserves to play more then everyone else. I know hes a volunteer but these are 7 year olds that are in first and second grade. The director of the soccer department did nothing about this coach. Everyone develops differently but that is far to young to punish a kid for not knowing how to play the game perfectly. Bottom line, Hopefully your lucky and you dont get a coach like this, or you get lucky and the coach doesnt single out your child in a method of social bullying. Because, the Channahon Park District will do nothing to help you in this situation. That Coach shouldnt ever be allowed to coach anyone less then 4th grade. That Coach is going to be the reason why so many young kids turn away from soccer.

I take the cardio strength and kickbox strength with Annmarie. All workout classes are good for any fitness level. Most classes are only $5 for the drop-in rate. Most people sign up for the yearly fitness package, but the drop-in rate fits really nicely with my busy schedule. Definitely lost some pounds and toned-up a bit in the two months of dropping in and taking Annmarie's classes. Good luck and happy workouts.

This library is a place to socialize rather than actually get any work done…read more Positives: printer(color or black and white), teenager section, adult section, children section, winter programs, summer programs, constant prizes, raffles, and opportunities to win items, you're able to renew items with no charge, and it's very disable-accessible. Negatives: charges for printing, lots of papers to sign, difficult process for cards, expiration dates for cards, lose a card? You have to pay for another one have to be a certain age to use certain computers, have to have your card ON YOU to check anything out, charges for late gain quickly, attitudes from workers(specified later), and loud for a library. For the rude workers: Renee: VERY RUDE. She's the main worker. She's in charge of both the children's section AND the teenager section of the library. While she's pretty good at taking charge of the children's section, she has NO idea what she's doing in the teenager section. She's on top of everything in the children's section, but when it comes to the teenagers, she's coming in late to the programs, shutting down some of the favorite programs, never refills the snacks that the teenage section is known for and loved for, and is fairly rude to all the teenagers. I have also heard that she is very rude to the workers as well. A bad person in general. She's seen at the children's section most of the time. The workers behind the counter and in the teen section are very nice people! I love talking to Shannon and Danielle. While the people upstairs can be rude at times, the people behind the counter on the main floor are very polite and love to help with any problem that you have. Mostly pleased with this location. Renee is the only reason why I put this rating at 3 stars. You'd think I'd put it at four, but the negative effect she has on the library is so great that I have to put it a 3. I recommend this library to a LOT of people, I just recommend to stay out of the children's section.
