Altamont is getting a truck stop. It won't be large because of the space allotted, but I've heard there will be a Starbucks and a Pizza Express.
For reference, It's where Stuckey's used to be. The old sign still stands.
Welcome to Altamont, Illinois! We are your typical small Midwestern town. You can find us half-way between St. Louis and Terre Haute, just off Interstate 70. Hope this site will encourage you to stop and visit if you've never been here, and if you have, I hope I renew some good memories!
