I am heading into Normal. The town was named Normal, not after a person, but because of the normal school there.

"In 1865, the Town was founded under the name of Normal. Two years later in 1867, the Town of Normal was officially incorporated by state charter. Under the formal State of Illinois charter, a town government of five trustees was elected, sidewalks were constructed and the sale of "intoxicating drinks" was prohibited. This prohibition remained until the early 1970’s."

How many other towns in the US continued prohibition after the Federal laws were changed.

Anyone else want to join MitzKity and me on this trip along route 66? It is fun to log in your minutes and spend a few minutes learning about our country, too.
