Rst 341 Final Draft COMMUNITY PROFILE Authored by: Ryan McGrath - Lead Consultant Debra Barnish - Formatting and Integration Consultant Blake Changnon - Visual Representation Consultant Jason Wong - Formatting and Integration/Visual Representation Consultant 4 Acknowledgements We would like to thank everyone on the City of Pontiac's leadership team for welcoming us with open arms to their city and allowing us learn and grow from this proposal. We would like to thank our teaching assistant, Chungsup Lee, for all of his hard work and dedication in helping class go smoothly each and everyday. Lastly, we would like to thank our instructor, Jonathan Hicks, who taught us everything we needed to know to complete this proposal. Jonathan’s dedication to class and helping each of us is greatly appreciated. We would not be where we are today without him. Introduction Recreation and tourism based amenities are the best catalysts to build a sense of community for residents and visitors alike because these experiences bring people together through shared experiences, fostering a sense of belonging and interconnectedness that we all innately strive for. By building an authentic, one-of a kind sense of community within Pontiac, residents’ quality of life will improve, tourists will create memorable experiences and a strong sense of place attachment, and the city of Pontiac will benefit economically. We are proposing that a 6.5 trail system, redesigning the Route 66 Courtyard, developing the Vermillion Plaza, and special programs such as tours and festivals will encompass Pontiac’s unique history and culture, and will improve Pontiac’s recreation and tourism offerings in a way that fosters a true sense of community and will produce economic benefits for the city of Pontiac. This document will be broken into seven sections. The community profile chapter will lay the framework as to what Pontiac currently consists of, what they are doing well and what needs to be improved. The vision development chapter will show the specific project descriptions and give visual representations for each project. The programming chapter will 5 develop special events and program plans. The community engagement chapter will develop marketing strategies, and create promotional materials. The monitoring, maintenance, and safety chapter will establish monitoring protocols, create a maintenance plan, and establish safety protocols. The finance and budget chapter will show the costs as well as revenue projections for these projects, and the future projects chapter will explain opportunities for Pontiac to continue growing well after these projects are implemented. We believe that the content presented throughout this document will greatly improve the recreation and tourism based opportunities in Pontiac. This will help bolster Pontiac’s reputation as a premier tourist destination and provide greater recreation based services for Pontiac residents of all demographics. These projects will not only have a positive economic impact on Pontiac, but also have a positive social impact on Pontiac by creating a sense of community among residents and a strong sense of place attachment among tourists. Vision/ Mission/ Goals/ Objectives ● RST 341 Class Definition of Community ○ A community is a group of individuals who support each other in working towards common goals and interests, brought together by common experiences. ● Proposed Vision Statement for the City of Pontiac, IL ○ The City of Pontiac will become a destination for new beginnings. ● Mission Statement for RST 341 ○ To develop projects that will bring together Pontiac residents and visitors. ● Goals ○ To bring new ideas into the City of Pontiac ○ To foster and enhance the sense of history in the City of Pontiac ○ To help residents and tourists alike appreciate what Pontiac has to offer 6 ○ To encourage growth and improvement in the City of Pontiac ● Objectives ○ Research and analyze existing conditions in the city ○ Propose ideas for improving existing conditions and adding new elements ○ Fully outline suggestions taking into consideration safety concerns, cost, and logistics Unless otherwise noted, all objectives will be accomplished by April 29, 2016. Selective Heritage The Name Behind Pontiac ● The area that would become the City of Pontiac were plains that were home to the Illini, Potawatomi, and Kickapoo Indians. However, it wasn't until 1837, that Livingston County was established by an act of the Illinois Congress and made the county seat. The name, Pontiac, came as a suggestion from landowner Jesse Fell, who had admired the great Indian chief. Pontiac Correctional Center ● The Pontiac Correctional Center was opened in 1871. The facility is classified as maximum security, and can house up to 2298 inmates. Currently, the jail hosts 1400 inmates, and provides jobs for 700 citizens. Despite the size and importance of this facility, it is by no means the only famous jail in Pontiac. The old jail site located near the river is just as memorable. Although this building is extremely old, closed off, and falling apart, it is still a historical landmark in the city. Chautauqua Assemblies ● These assemblies were started in 1847 by Dr. John H. Vincent. They started out as a way to help standardize religious instruction. The very first meeting was held at Lake 7 Chautauqua in New York and lasted for two weeks. Eventually, Chautauqua assemblies became more popular and spread to a variety of states. The content also expanded quite a bit to include various forms of entertainment. The first Chautauqua in Pontiac occurred in 1898 and was led by A.C. Folsom. The Pontiac Chautauqua Assembly continued until 1929. The assemblies held in Pontiac are considered by many to be some of the most successful that occurred west of Pennsylvania. Trails, Parks, Etc. ● The City of Pontiac offers ten different parks for their residents and tourists to use throughout the year. Some of the parks include the Humiston Woods Nature Center, Dargan Park, Fell Park and more. These parks offer something for everyone including trails and playground equipment, as well as basketball courts and baseball fields. In addition to the parks and amenities that currently exist, it is important to note the several historical recreation facilities. One of the most meaningful facilities is the old pool. Although this pool is now too old and unsafe be used, it is a nostalgic site for many in the Pontiac area. Many people feel a strong emotional attachment because of the 80 years worth of memories that exist there. Basketball Interest ● The City of Pontiac has had such a love for basketball that they currently host the Pontiac Holiday Tournament. This tournament has been the nation’s oldest and best High School basketball tournament for the past 85 years. The City of Pontiac has such enthusiasm for basketball that they are teaming up with Illinois Basketball Coaches Association to create the Basketball Museum of Illinois, which will house their Hall of Fame and offices. The 8 new museum will be located at Pontiac's Vermillion Plaza within the former KMart building. Route 66 • Route 66 was commissioned in 1926 and is considered by many to be one of the most famous highways in the world. Commonly known as the “Mother Road,” Route 66 links Illinois to California while passing through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, and New Mexico. Naturally, this highway played a major role in the country’s history, and even crossed paths with Abraham Lincoln’s history as well. Various towns along the route embrace the history of the highway and do their best to preserve these attractions. Pontiac is no exception. The town is especially connected with Route 66 and does all it can to highlight the history and culture surrounding the classic highway. There is a museum devoted to the route and the era it embodied, as well as the iconic Route 66 mural. Although the route is not commonly used for technical travel, 250,000 people drive the route each year for the historic significance and attractions. 9 Analysis of Existing Conditions ● Murals on Main Street: Throughout the city of Pontiac there are various murals on display. Each of these murals was painted by a group of artists known as the Wall Dogs. In just four days during the summer of 2009, the artists finished eighteen murals. Perhaps the most well known mural is the Route 66 shield. This mural is located on the back of the Illinois Route 66 Hall of Fame. All of the murals are visible from the car and can easily be accessed on foot. There are mural guides available in several museums, as well as red footprints that will guide visitors to all the murals. RCA Victor - Artists: Bernie Gietal, Bernie Sidewalk Shark - Artist: Tang Dongbai Lohmeyer, and Bernie Poff 1926: Route 66 and Pontiac Auto - Artist: Tang Daniels Oil Co. - Artist: Diaz Sign Art Dongbai 10 ● Route 66 Mural: The Route 66 mural, aside from being the largest, is probably the most well known mural in the town. This mural depicts the Route 66 shield on a backdrop of various city skylines. A red ribbon across the shield says ‘Pontiac, Illinois.’ The mural is located on the back of the Route 66 museum. This mural is so iconic that it was featured in a National Geographic calendar. ● Museums and Exhibits ○ Route 66 Museum and Hall of Fame: This museum is home to numerous pieces of memorabilia from the era of Route 66. Visitors can learn about the history of Route 66, as well as the history of the nation during the time of Route 66. The importance of this historic national byway is highlighted 11 by the different artifacts and stories on display at the museum. The museum also includes two vehicles that were owned by Bob Waldmire. ○ Pontiac-Oakland Automobile Museum: The Pontiac-Oakland Automobile Museum was opened in the summer of 201.

DAVID DUNAWAY I’m wondering how you came to live on Waldmire Road in Rochester? BUZ WALDMIRE Well, this dates back prior to the 911 system, and when there wasn’t a 911 system and there was an emergency the local ambulances or fire departments pretty much knew where everyone lived. When they went into a 911 system, and I don’t know what was involved with that, if they had to pass legislation or whatever, but they set it up they said well, where do these people live, how do we give them an address? And somebody says, I know let’s call the power company! So they called the electricity company, and they had specific records and street locations for every transformer that they hung throughout the county and in the area. It just so happened that my dad was really one of the first people out here, so when the power company came out and hung the transformer and put in the electric for the house way back in the woods, they identified it as Waldmire Road.

MICHAEL WALLIS: My first summer in New Mexico, I didn’t have a car up there in Taos. I walked. Every other day I walked from the Wurlitzer Foundation to the post office, which was of course a big gathering place for everyone to get their mail. I carried a huge sycamore stick to literally beat dogs off of me. They finally learned. They were savage. I love animals, but these dogs were after my ass, and I just had to whack them a few times. Here I am again, an idealistic writer.

  • Birthplace of Route 66 Slipping Into the Circle Inn
    BIRTHPLACE OF ROUTE 66 SLIPPING INTO THE CIRCLE INN IN BOURBON, MISSOURI PAGE12 ROUTE 66 IN ILLINOIS , Historic Route 66 stretches across the U.S. from Chicago to Los Angeles. Along the way, in Lebanon, Missouri is a growing popular landmark stop for any history enthusiast, tourist, or local Ozark resident. Shepherd Hills Factory Outlets started in the outlet business in 1972 as an outlet for locally made Walnut Bowls. Ida and Rea Reid, founders, began their entrepreneurship operating a motel in the 1960's called the Capri Motel which was located right along Route 66, known today as Interstate 44. ' They sold the Capri Motel in 1966 and along with their sons, Rod and Randy, started a new business in 1972 called the Shepherd Hills Gift Shop which was leased as a part of the Shepherd Hills Motel and happened to be located in virtually the same spot as the Capri Motel. Later, as they began expanding, they bought a portion of the motel as well as the gift shop and began construction of their current building in 1999. In the meantime, Shepherd Hills added additional locations including those in Osage Beach,MO, Branson, MO, and Eddyville, KY , and brought in other quality products to the lineup including Chicago Cutlery,Denby Pottery, and of course Case X,-X pocketknives--making the latter also available through catalog mail order and eventually on the web at www.CaseXX.com. Lebanon is one of the best places to see the Mother Road, which was officially named right here in Missouri. You can drive a 5-mile section of the original road, and commemorative Route 66 signs will help guide your drive.

  • Cultural Heritage
    Cultural Heritage Arizona has a unique landscape full of canyons and caves formed by prehistoric phenomena. These canyons, caves, and fossils influenced Native American culture and customs. Far from the teepees or lodges seen elsewhere in the country, Arizona is home to many well-preserved cliff dwellings, pit houses, and petroglyph sites, where the ancestral tribes of Arizona lived, worked, and worshipped. Centuries later, the Spanish conquistadors and missionaries established presidios and missions, forever changing the cultural and religious landscape of the area. As a part of New Spain, Arizona became part of independent Mexico in 1821 following the Mexican Revolution, until the Mexican-American War and the Gadsden Purchase added the territory to the US in the mid-1800s. Before long, miners with gold fever began prospecting the land in hopes of striking at rich; pioneers seeking religious freedom spread throughout the territory in hopes of finding peace; and ranchers looking for a prosperous life beyond the ruins of a country ravaged by Civil War became the cowboys of legend. Unfortunately, the US’s period of westward expansion was also fraught with conflict, and US Army forts began to dot the landscape, as they attempted to bring the area, including the Native Americans and lawless gunslingers, under US dominion. Finally, on February 14, 1912, Arizona became the 48th State in the US. This list of sites pertaining to these people and events is in no way exhaustive but gives a good foundation to experience Arizona’s rich history throughout
