Day 93 - See the USA!

Happy Independence Day! After a couple of false starts on a red-white-blue theme, I decided to use more of the travel-related stuff for a See the USA theme, but didn't have time to finish yesterday. Of course, only after gluing it together did I come to find out that the White Hart Hotel is not in Lincoln, Nebraska but in the UK. Oops!

Day 88 - The Monon Route

I have a bunch of cool travel-related scrapbook papers and stuff. One had this great old advertisement for the railway line that had a "hub" through Monon, Indiana, and was an important North/South line from Chicago. This alligator ad is for the run all the way down to Jacksonville, Florida. The railroad made cast-iron match holders shaped like alligators, labeled "Monon Line". Apparently these became so collectible that now there are reproductions circulating on eBay and elsewhere.
