(Phrases and Pictures by Jim Hrody) Amboy, IL is about 100 miles west of Chicago. Just about every August the city has its ‘Depot Days’, and on the previous day of this competition, a vehicle clearly show normally takes location. The ‘depot’ element of the name comes from the record of the Illinois Central Railroad as soon as being headquartered there. I have not viewed an official count, but by my estimation, there had been about 400+ cars and trucks, vehicles, and motorcycles lining the streets. The city was proven in the 1850s, so there are a good deal of old structures backdropping the vehicles. One notable point is that they have a greatly regarded 50/50 raffle, and this yr the winner took property around $99,000!
