    I was an art history student so viewing these paintings for me is the best part of your trip. Thank you Jordan!

    And so it begins! Exciting because I always wanted to do this trip. Thank you Jordan and Scott! By the way, the song about getting your kicks was recorded by Bobby Troup who was from here where I live. In fact my mother worked for his father at Troups Music House which was a record and music store. And whenever his son would come to town he always came to the store to say hello. Mom said he always wore a turtleneck shirt. Whenever we watched the show Emergency she would point him out!

    I remember on my high school senior class trip I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC and they were having a Surat exhibit with all his paintings. As a artist myself that museum blew me away. I would like to go back again.

    I grew up in Chicago & I remember first seeing Sunday On The Grand when I was in kindergarten at Schubert School on the Northwest side.
    I was intrigued when our teacher Mrs. Sears told us it was painted solely from dots.
    That was almost 54 years ago & I've never forgotten that.
    Still intrigues me actually.
    What talent.
    I also went to a wedding in 2005 at the diamond building, it was exquisite.
    And Buckingham Fountain wasn't on yet? It's never later than Memorial Day. Uh oh!
    I never knew there was a peice of Edinburgh Castle in the Tribune tower. Edinburgh is my favorite place in the world....besides my hometown of Chicago.😉

    Jordan, I couldn't believe it when you started walking toward that painting. When I was there several years ago I had to come back to it at least three times! I couldn't stop marveling at it, almost like I was never going to be able to take it all in and I don't know why. There is just something about that woman, that painting, and I can see why Bill Murray was so affected by it.

    Hi Jordan, and Mr. Scott Michaels. thank you for taking us on you Route 66 journey we are so looking forward to it. Also Jordan we enjoyed the great other videos you posted like Mable Normand, showing us where you used to live, Ted Danson, the Dalton House and tunnel, and the Jesse James, loved the Doris Day, the Calvory collection was good, and you trip with your girlfriend to the Spam museum, that was interesting. Colonel Sanders was interesting as well. Most of all we love the fact your Papaw is doing better. We are very happy for you and your family. also Jordan it looks like you only need 10 more subscribes to be at 300K subscribes. That is so awesome. Can't wait to see tomorrows Route 66 video, you and Scott have a great day.

    As a native Chicagoan, you did a great job vlogging Downtown Chicago and the Art Institute, etc. I've been to Del Rhea's Chicken Basket several times over the years but I do remember going there back in the 1950's with all of our neighbors. We lived on the southwest side of the city so it was a little bit of a road trip for us. Good memories, good times!
    My brother-in-law's brother was an extra in the Blues Brothers. He was a Chicago cop in real life. Thanks for sharing - you always do a great job!

      Another anecdote: Berwyn is famous for the host of an old horror movie show that showed old horror movies along with the schtick of the host, Svengoolie! Sven is still on - on METV on Saturday nights.

    My Dad died in 2002, but he told me a great story when I was a teenager in the 80's.
    My Dad graduated high school in 1956 from Carl Sandberg high in Orland Park, IL.
    That same year, his Grandpa retired from International Harvester in Chicago.
    His Grandpa bought a place in Gardena, CA, to retire at.
    So, in the fall of 1956, they headed out to L.A. down from Chicago down Route 66.
    Grandpa and Grandson on a journey.
    I can only imagine how in looked and felt back then. They veered of track to stop in Las Vegas for a couple of days. Can you imagine?
    They did it in a 1954 Crown Victoria.

    Seeing that statue of Jack Brickhouse bought back many memories for me since I've been a LOYAL Cubs fan since going to my 1st game back in 1966! One of the most memorable lines from Jack was when Milt Pappas was pitching his Perfecto (The ump robbed him with a bad call) when a ball was hit to left center field and Bill North slipped on the grass but HOFer Sweet Swinging Billy Williams came out of nowhere to make the catch! Jack lost his voice on that call alone " bill north slips and falls down but billy williams comes outta nowhere to make THE CATCH!!"

    Stopped at the Joliat prison a couple weeks ago. Very interesting. I think the white Corvette you saw at the Joliat visitor center was from the Route 66 TV show from the 1960s. The first Dairy Queen was on Route 66 in Joliat, not too far from the prison. Nothing in the building there except for a little sign.
