  • Joliet, Illinois Community Profile Overnight Itinerary

    Joliet, Illinois Community Profile Overnight Itinerary

    Joliet, Illinois Community Profile Overnight Itinerary Full of history, culture, shopping and great sporting activities, Joliet is the place where everyone can play! Start exploring with a visit to the Joliet Area Historical Museum, Route 66 Welcome Center, Rialto Square Theatre, Chicagoland Speedway & Route 66 Raceway, Autobahn Country Club, or attend a Joliet Slammers Baseball game. Try your luck at Harrah's Joliet and Hollywood Casinos or maybe a round of golf at one of Joliet's four beautiful golf courses. Visit the Splash Station Water Park or do some shopping at the Louis Joliet Mall. The city's origins date back to 1833, but it wasn't until 1852 that it was incorporated officially as the city of Joliet. The origin of the name of the city is generally believed to be in part to honor explorer Louis Jolliet. It is the 3rd largest city in Illinois, with a population of 149,395 as of 2016. Joliet is part of the original 1926 alignment of Route 66 in Illinois. The Joliet alignment (most of which is currently designated as IL 53) remained until it was bypassed in 1940 with a new alignment that ran through Plainfield. Portions of Route 66 in Joliet also parallel the I&M Canal (Illinois & Michigan Canal State Trail) and the Lincoln Highway. The portion of Route 66 traveling from Joliet to Wilmington was placed on to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. ATTRACTIONS: Joliet Area Historical Museum and Route 66 Welcome Center Stop in to the Joliet Area Historical Museum and Route 66 Welcome Center to view the free, interactive Route 66 Experience exhibit, located at the crossroads of Route 66 and Lincoln Highway.

Also, I thank the MTG/IUA Administration Staff (Cristina Garrido, Joana Clotet and Salvador Gurrera), and the sysadmins (Guillem Serrate, Jordi Funollet, Maarten de Boer, Ram´on Loureiro, and Carlos Atance). They provided help, hints and patience when I played around with the machines. During my six months stage at the Center for Computing Research of the National Poly- technic Institute (Mexico City) in 2007, I met a lot of interesting people ranging different disciplines.
