I visited the sign marking the beginning of Route 66, and while it’s a meaningful and historic spot, it was disappointing to see the sign completely covered in stickers. It’s a shame that such an iconic symbol of American road history isn’t better respected or maintained. I understand people want to leave their mark, but it ends up taking away from the significance of the place. I hope more visitors—and maybe even the city—consider preserving the sign for future generations...

There is a decorative sign with a bunch of stickers on it but right around the corner is the actual sign that says BEGIN. For nostalgia buffs, that's the sign. Pretty cool place to beOP considering the 100 yr anniversary is coming up and the highway itself runs thru my...

The sign is all covered with stickers and is barely seen. However, walk 100 feet towards the Art School, and you will see a much cleaner sign with another sign "Begin" under it (on the photo). As I understand, this is the actual start of Route 66, go there instead.

It's a sign, stuck high up on a lamppost, what more can you say. Significant to us as we are foing thr Route 66 starting today. But to the Chicago authorities I suppose they don't give a damn anymore about this iconic journey?
