The Ultimate Bucket List for Illinois

Author Melanie Holmes answers the question, "How well do you know your region/state?" As she discusses her new book, “100 Things to Do in Illinois Before You Die,” (part of Reedy Press' nationwide line of books), she presents hot spots in the arts, parks, food, culture, history, and even geology. She has tips for day jaunts, weekend trips, and weeklong excursions -- all in Illinois! Holmes also offers a segment called, "windshield travel;" including things you can see from your car (helpful for those with physical challenges).
