The former Cozy Inn opened in the 1920s and served bus passengers traveling
between Chicago and St. Louis, MO. Mario's Pizza occupied the building
when we went by in 2016. The building has been pretty heavily changed
over the years. The front door used to be about where the vintage gas
pump stands out front in this photo.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
