As we continue our journey on Route 66, we’re stopping in Bloomington-Normal to check out the McLean County Museum of History. 

We're talking about holiday traditions in Bloomington-Normal, Carbondale, and Peoria.

Today’s reporter’s roundtable covers a range of stories in the Bloomington Normal and the Quad Cities areas.

Last month when libraries closed across Illinois, it meant more than just a loss of reading material. We hear about some of the ways that libraries are continuing to try to serve their communities.

Tomorrow is Election Day for many of Illinois’ cities and towns. Voters across the state will choose their local leaders with mayoral and city council races in some of our biggest cities. Including Chicago, Champaign and Springfield. Plus, we’ll revisit our conversation with Brian Wallach. He was diagnosed with ALS a little more than a year ago. Since that time, he’s been trying to raise $100 million to help find a cure for future generations.
