Need a lift? October 2, 2007

It looks like the Route 66 Hall of Fame Museum and Livingston County War Museum, which are part of the same complex in Pontiac, Ill., will have an elevator by next summer.
The Pontiac Daily Leader reports that the City Council authorized an architect to proceed with those plans. The elevator would provide access to the Route 66 museum’s second floor.
The last time an elevator was discussed, about 4 years ago, it was going to cost about $80,000. Mabye they should have built it then? If you are REALLY going to do it, DO IT, ALREADY
The Route 66 museum opened four years ago. The city was probably waiting to see whether the museum would be viable.
Now the museum is obviously successful, and the second floor is being used a lot. So the elevator is justified.
