Visit Carlinville: What to See & Do in Carlinville, Illinois

http://www.woltersworld.com
Small town rural America is a part of the country that few foreign visitors get to enjoy when they visit the US. Carlinville, Illinois represents a typical farming community in the rural US with a few nice sights to see and some tasty food to be had, I recommend the Taylor's Chili and the Anchor Inn or as the sign says, Taylor's Chili Parlour.
So if you are driving from Chicago to St. Louis on your Route 66 drive stop on by, just be careful if you make videos like me on the square as while I am filming this the police came up to see about a "crazy man talking to himself on the square." But the officer was extremely nice and was looking forward to seeing our website when he got home that night from work.

I am from Carlinville, you did a GREAT job. The only thing you forgot was the Anderson Mansion and the Loomis House right behind you which had ghost hunters come in I think 2001 and they found lots of strange happenings.(:

@catelindonelle Thank you. I had more to talk about but while I was filming this but the local police pulled up and I had to stop filming (I kind of got worried when he pulled up). Apparently someone called and said there was a crazy man talking to himself on the square so the police showed up. I had to fill out a police report and explain what i was doing :) it was funny. the cop was very nice and apologized for interrupting. Though after that i decided not to film anymore :)
