Coffee With Jim, March 3, 2024

A fascinating conversation about the Illinois Rock & Roll Museum on Route 66 with Ron Romero, the founder, director and CEO, kicked off today's program. But it soon evolved into an inspirational program about the magic of Route 66, how tourism can be used to build a sense of community and community purpose, the Joliet renaissance, and the opportunities represented by the fast approaching Route 66 centennial.
