Day 14 – Chester, Illinois

Yesterday we visited Chester, Illinois the home of the creator of Popeye, Elzie Sanger.  Chester’s other movie connections are as the locations for In the Heat of the Night and The Fugitive.

Had only a couple of hours much of which was taken up by downloading ebook and audiobook in blessed cafe with broadband access.  After that we just took a look at the awesome view from the nearby Courthouse.  Popeye statues are all over town.
