Not sure if this has already been posted, so . . . . I was traveling down I-57 through central Illinois early in August this year. It's a pleasant, if not a bit boring, interstate with smooth pavement and it was a real relief after the gnarled mess around Chicago. My wife, Dorothy, and I were headed to Chattanooga for a model hobby convention, and our overnight stop would be in Paducah, Kentucky. So, zipping along on the highway with 22 model airplanes in the back, just minding the good weather, light traffic, George Harrison with his Rick 360/12, there's a red-tail hawk . . . wait, WHAT? I did a rapid double-take, but only got a glimpse. I big picture of George Harrison with three excited girls reaching for him was maybe 50 yards from the road! Wow! Cool! But why this neat billboard/mural way out here in corn country? I couldn't stop, or back up, or go to the next exit and circle back. I started wondering why would there be this tribute in rural Illinois? Then I remembered that George visited his sister who lived in Illinois just before they made it big. It was Benton. That's the town, and that's the reason for the location of the mural. Such a cool thing!
