&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Although Joliette is the fifth largest city in Illinois, but to be honest, there is really nothing fun, except for the Joliette Regional History Museum and Joliette Prison, there is really no place to play, it was over in the morning, Xiao Peng did not find more than five floors of buildings in the whole city, but the buildings and houses here are very old, which can make Yang Mengle bad, patting the camera left and right, it looks really bad.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; But the good thing about the small town is that the people here are very welcoming, the most famous restaurant here is called 'Lou-Mitchell', all the interiors in it still maintain the original appearance of the restaurant when it was established in 4 years, it has a sense of history, as the first stop of the No. 1 highway, this restaurant is still very attractive, many tourists eat here, and the taste is also very good.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Xiao Peng wanted to buy some souvenirs, and the two came to the visitor center, which is quite large, with two floors, and one floor is at least 300 square meters. In the visitor center of the university, there are more than a dozen tourists from all over the world, and they are dazzled by all kinds of souvenirs. But only two old ladies served here.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;This Illinois is the most complete state about Highway information, and there are few states that have such complete information, and all kinds of souvenirs are really available.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; The big screen in the visitor center has been playing an introduction to Highway No. 1, and there are several models of classic cars in the room, coincidentally, whether it is Xiao Peng's old Ford Mustang or Yang Meng's Plymouth, there are one-to-one models in the visitor center for people to take pictures.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Souvenirs here include old photos, travel books, clothing, commemorative posts, etc., Xiao Peng bought a set of eight postcards to send back to China.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Looking at Xiao Peng's actions, Yang Meng was puzzled: "Dude, aren't you throwing money? Do you think you can receive it? I wanted to have a fashion during the Chinese New Year and sent out dozens of postcards, but less than ten people received them, and I will never send postcards again from that day on." Oh, and ten years ago, my family took me to Yunnan to play, and the postcard I sent to myself hasn't been received today, so I'll go, I've planted a fruit tree for ten years and it's been fruitful, right?"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Many people travel to other places, especially abroad, postcards are a good gift for friends, but the loss rate of postcards in China is too high.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; In China, ordinary letters and postcards are indeed easy to lose. The most important reason is that these letters have not been registered, and they belong to the last level in the mailing process, that is, when the capacity is not enough, the ordinary letters are the last to go, because they are sent slowly, there is no guarantee, and they are in the last state, which is basically unattended, and it is naturally easy to lose. There was once such a thing, a 'temporary worker' postman at the post office was lazy, and he didn't submit a flat letter for several months, and threw it all away, and after he found out, the director was also a little unlucky.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Lao Tzu sent me a registered postcard! He lost it for me!" Xiao Peng said disdainfully.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; In fact, postcards can also handle registered business, but even many post office staff do not know this! Many post offices in China do not accept postcard registration business at all! The reason is that registration must be placed in an envelope! In fact, they are all fools who do not understand our Chinese postal system, and perhaps some people know the rules but ignore this because they are afraid of trouble?

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;When Yang Meng heard this, he also quickly bought a bunch of postcards, all kinds of mail, can you send a registered number?

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Now in this year, communication is becoming more and more developed, but the interpersonal relationship is getting weaker and weaker, the original friends get together every three or five times, now it's good, it's good to make a phone call occasionally。。。。。。;

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; When the two of them were still sitting there writing addresses and sending postcards, the old lady in the visitor center suddenly let out a scream that did not match her age, which startled everyone in the visitor center.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; But I saw the old lady pointing out the window: "Whose old mustang is that?"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Everyone looked out the window, and the old lady pointed to Xiao Peng's car parked in the free parking lot outside the door.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng coughed dryly: "Madam, that's my car, what's the problem?"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;The old lady looked at Xiao Peng: "When I was young, I also walked on Highway 1, and I sat in such a silver-white Ford Mustang. Now seeing the exact same car, it's a little exciting, don't you mind. ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng wanted to say that he was 'Irinor', but after thinking about it, he forgot it. Anyway, the models are the same, what do you say: "It's okay, you just like it." Do you want to go up and sit down?"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;The old lady's eyes lit up: "Is it okay?"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng took out the car keys: "Let's go, let's circle around twice this week." After speaking, he pointed at Yang Meng: "Anyway, this fool forgot to write with a pen, and I don't know when I want to write!"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Yang Meng protested: "Can I be blamed for this? I haven't written for a long time? I was also a good handwriter back then, and I ruined this damn computer and mobile phone." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Don't make excuses, you used to write like a dog!" Xiao Peng waved his hand, took the old lady around the neighborhood, and returned to the park. The old lady got out of the car and kept sighing: "I didn't expect the interior and appearance of this car to be so like back then, but what's wrong." Compared to that year, this car is much more advanced. Alas, a lot of things are different from back then. ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng smiled: "I have a friend who specializes in refurbishing classic cars in New York, if you are interested, you can go to him, put forward your request, and repair a car that is exactly the same as your impression back then." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; The old lady was a little excited when she heard this: "Really, you must give me his contact information, I want him to help me fulfill a wish I have had for many years." Speaking of which, I was a little teary-eyed.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Xiao Peng looked at it, the old lady is also a person with a story, then again, who doesn't have a story? What anyone did when they were young, whether it was a good thing or a stupid thing, was actually to accumulate something called 'memory' when they were old.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Knowing that Xiao Peng and the two were going to take Highway No. 66, the old lady was very excited to introduce Xiao Peng to the customs along Highway 66, as well as the best souvenirs in the store.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Xiao Peng said goodbye to the old lady, but the old lady stopped him, took out a lunch box from the house and handed it to Xiao Peng: "Xiao, this is a vegetable cupcake I made myself, give it to you to eat on the road." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;After Xiao Peng thanked him repeatedly, he took a box of cakes and went back on the road. Xiao Peng took the old lady's advice, sped up his progress, and did not make many stops in Wilmington, but went straight to Bradwood.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Wilmington is also a small town along Route 66, but it's sparsely populated and more residential, with little to no Highway to see in the town except for a statue of the Giant Jimini.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; But because of this statue of the Jimini giant, all the travelers passing by Wilmington will stop here to take a photo with the Jimini giant, and Xiao Peng and the others are not exempt.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; The Jimmy Giant used to be a popular advertising ploy in the sixties, all along Highway Strip, but as Highway was lonely, these giant statues gradually disappeared, but this Wilmington erected such one.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; This giant statue is so ugly that people have to doubt the aesthetics of the Stars and Stripes: it is a statue wearing a green suit, wearing a rocket helmet, and holding a toy rocket in his hand. That face。。。。。。 It's a nightmare when you look at it, okay?

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Another reason why Wilmington is not bustling is that it is so close to Bradwood, only twenty minutes away, that all visitors are attracted by Bradwood.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Actually, Bradwood is also a small place, and the whole town is about one or two thousand people. But there is a famous 'Polka Point Drive-in Restaurant', and it is said that many people will travel hundreds of kilometers to eat here.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; This drive-in restaurant is an integral part of the Stars and Stripes culture, and this 'Polka Point Drive-in Restaurant' has been serving the most authentic Stars and Stripes fast food to Highway followers for 5 years. Even the statues of Marilyn Monroe, Betty dolls, and Elvis Presley are placed at the door. All exude a strong flavor of road culture.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; As for the inside of the restaurant, it's even more interesting, the walls are full of old photos.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Eating burgers, hot dogs and fries, looking at old photos and statues of Elvis Presley plastered on the walls, it feels like stepping back in time. Listening to Tom Weisz's singing in an old-fashioned jukebox, it feels like you've stepped back in time.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Yang Meng went to the bathroom and was so happy when he came back. Xiao Peng asked curiously, "Did you pick up?"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Yang Meng explained: "This shop is so interesting. I just went to the men's restroom and found that the walls were full of pictures of Monroe. It's tightly pasted. ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng was also curious when he heard it: "This is a bit interesting, I don't know if there are photos in the women's toilet!"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Yes, there must be! Yang Meng said.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng was happy: "The owner of this shop is very humorous。。。。。。 Wait, how do you know there's a picture of Elvis Presley in the women's bathroom?"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Yang Meng patted the camera on his body: "Of course, I didn't know until I went in and looked at it, I took a photo, and I will send it to you on Weibo in a while." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;uh, don't you know you shouldn't go to the women's bathroom?

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Weibo?, do you still have that cash thing?" Xiao Peng teased Yang Meng. Xiao Peng also has Weibo, but basically no one pays attention to it, so he doesn't play, Yang Meng is even more disdainful of that thing, I didn't expect there to be Weibo now?

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Yang Meng nodded: "We must record our itinerary, don't you leave a souvenir." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Well, you've got a solid idea. Xiao Peng said.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Just when the two were chatting and eating, they heard an argument outside the door, and Yang Meng pouted: "The temper of this Stars and Stripes people is too explosive, what is there to quarrel about? ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xiao Peng smiled: "Everyone has the qualifications to say this, but you are not qualified." Hey, can't you sit still and want to see the excitement?"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Yang took a bite of the hot dog here: "I'm okay to go and make this fun." We are civilized people. Eat ours calmly. ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;As soon as Yang Meng finished speaking, he heard the quarrel outside the door getting louder and louder, and a man's voice came: "Get away, you damn Huaxia pig!"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"Rub. Xiao Peng and Yang Meng stood up together, dare to scold like this?
