Illinois Route 66
The logical first state section because the route begins in Chicago.
Publishing strategy
Route 66 is the first LocalTopSpots highway
This section will grow westbound, starting in Chicago and moving toward Santa Monica. That keeps the site organized like a real road trip instead of a random pile of pages.
Each state page can later include towns, historic stops, diners, motels, photo features, sponsor spots, and downloadable guide products.
