Chicago to North Central Arkansas

[barneyfett]

Greetings!

I'll be traveling from South Chicago to North Central Arkansas in about a week for some family events. On the way, I'll be taking my time to soak in all that the road offers. I've made this trip before, but not in many years, so I don't recall any of the intricate details of where may be good places to eat or stop along the way for interludes. Any tips for this Northern Boy returning down south?

Thanks much!
