Off of 164, if you are really adventurous, you can then take a detour thru Alexis, North Henderson, Rio, and Woodhull to get back on I 74. I highly recommend Jigg's Cardinal Inn in Alexis for a small town drinking pub experience you won't forget. Way before my time, but that building survived a tornado when it was situated a few miles away in Shanghai. They put it one some skids and pulled it into Alexis with a team of horses. Ahh, the good ol' days. Men's softball two nights a week in North Henderson. Win or lose, head to Cotton's Bar outside of Rio after the game. If you were really hungry, you could go to the Woodhull Plaza off 74 or back toward Galesburg to the Kozy Inn on 150.

The marked detour will be the old Highway 34 (now marked as Route 164). It is a two-lane road.

Thanks for the heads up. That’s big time right there.

Apparently I missed my target audience. Eons ago Shanghai City had a reputation that was "colorful"
Anymore, it's disappeared off the face of the Earth.

Yep lived in Knox county most of my life and never heard of it.
Jenson is transferring elsewhere: http://www.fcs.football/cfb/story.asp?i ... 9016285604alabamagrizzly wrote: Thu Mar 29, 2018 1:29 pm QB) Our Fr of the Year candidate from last year and a former UNLV transfer will be battling for the starting job. Most fans hope Jensen, the returning starter gets it but the transfer, Sneed, is familiar with the new coaches even though he never played for em. He’s got better running ability but Jensen has the QB tangibles that you just can’t teach a kid.
Gresch Jensen threw for 2531 yards and put up a 148 efficiency rating as a RS-freshman last season for the Grizzlies and finished third in the Jerry Rice award voting.

Ya, in about a 24 hour period of the news breaking, the thread on eGriz announcing it has reached 400 posts and 5 other threads have spawned totaling about 150 posts. You might say it caught Griz nations attention.ST_Lawson wrote: Mon Apr 23, 2018 4:19 pmJenson is transferring elsewhere: http://www.fcs.football/cfb/story.asp?i ... 9016285604alabamagrizzly wrote: Thu Mar 29, 2018 1:29 pm QB) Our Fr of the Year candidate from last year and a former UNLV transfer will be battling for the starting job.

I’m disappointed cus I really liked Gresch like most Griz fans but, like most Griz fans, think Coach Hauck and our definite QB1, Dalton Sneed will be ok. Depth is now our biggest concern at QB, a position where we have seen 5 different starting QB’s due to injury over the last 2 years. Currently we only have a RSFr and an incoming true Fr to back up Sneed. There’s rumors though that we’re interested in landing a Wisconsin QB who’s going to be a grad transfer. We’ll see.
