ROUTE 66 IMAGE COLLECTION It was quieter time in the late 60s along Route 66 when campground signs such as this beckoned weary travelers to take a break from their road trips.

Located on the outskirts of Arcadia, Oklahoma HISTORIC ROUTE 66 SITE This is one of the last old gasoline filling stations still standing in this part of the country. No one knows for sure, but it is thought to have been built in the late teens or early twenties. It had two pumps, one for regular gas and one for ethyl, which was a little higher octane. Oil was dispensed from a 50-gallon drum, which was laid down on its side on a wooden frame. A spigot was put in the end of the drum, under which you put a quart can, then taken to your car and put in the motor. Seeing there was no electricity out here at that time, most homes and buildings were lighted by kerosene lamps or lanterns. Kerosene was dispensed the same way oil was from a metal drum, put in your container and taken home. Cold soda pop was sold only on days when the ice man made it by. The pop was put in a large metal box with chipped ice over it. Hard candy was sold most of the time; chocolate was sold only in the winter, because in the summer it would melt—since there were no refrigerators. Back then, times were very hard and it was difficult to make a living. One day, about the time Al Capone was terrorizing the City of Chicago, a so-called salesman came by the station, offering to sell the owners a way to make a lot of money, literally, for he had a set of plates for a counterfeit ten-dollar bill. The story goes that the people yielded to temptation, with the thought of being able to get rich quick. A small room was constructed on the back of the old station for the purpose of hiding the printing materials and a place to work. The only entrance was through a window you see on the back wall of the station. The window had a solid wooden door, which was kept closed most of the time. People didn’t even know that there was a room back there. The way the counterfeiting was done was that they would press one of the plates on a piece of paper with the green ink on it, then let that side dry 24 hours, and print the black side of the bill the next day. Things went along just fine for a time, but while passing one of the fake ten-dollar bills, one of the persons was arrested, and with the identification on him where he lived, he was traced to the old station. While searching the building, the counterfeit plates were found. So ended this crime spree, like so many others. The person being taken to jail was overheard to say, “It wasn’t worth it!” The old station was closed, never to open again. Many years later, which had nothing to do with the counterfeiting, a murder victim was found in the old abandoned building. Police were unable to determine whether he was killed there or the body just dumped, for he had no identification on him and on one seemed to know him. Please be careful entering this fragile old building. The owners / Rock of Ages Farm / / / / /

The Route 66 Diner Of course this is not a real diner, you cannot order food…but…. I guess you could eat the cardboard food if you were REALLY hungry, and it would be low in carbs and surely no fat grams. Photo was taken at the Route 66 Museum in Clinton, Oklahoma.

Image taken at the Route 66 Museum in Elk City, Oklahoma. If you are old enough, you will remember going to the drive-in movie theatre. By the way, did you have any teen hiding in the trunk? And it was a ritual to pull up to the speaker pole, pull in a speaker to check to see if it was a working one. If not, move the car to the next one. I have memories of the drive-in from as early as my childhood, when Mom put us in our pajamas and brought along a pillow and a blanket when we chose dreamland over movieland. Check this Drive-In Theatre List to see if there is an operating drive-in near you. Below is another theatre in Abingdon, Virginia; click on image for more information. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Please don’t copy or download this image.

This is the Century Theater complex at the corner of Central Avenue and 1st Street in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It incorporates elements of Route 66 neon and the pueblo deco architecture made famous by the landmark Kimo Theater, located just down the street from here. This new complex anchors what has been an aggressive downtown revitalization project that has been partly financed by windfalls from Route 66 Corridor Preservation Act of 1996. Federal grants and state and local tax incentives have enabled city planners to capitalize on the Route 66 mystique and breathe new life into what had become a rather seedy looking downtown area just 10 -15 years ago. Now, it is a high-energy destination spot for tourists and locals alike, and its streets sing with the buzz of neon, the rumble of motors, and the hubub of pedestrians.

This is an abandoned RV campground located in the ghost town of Two Guns, Arizona, on a remnant of old Route 66. The story of Two Guns is at once fascinating and tragic, storied and sordid, and is worth a few minutes of your time.

The first Rendezvous took place in 1990 at Glen Helen Regional Park in Devore with 300 vehicles and about 4,000 spectators enjoying the cars. A cruise down “E” Street and a concert were highlights of that first event. In 1991, the event moved to the National Orange Show grounds and expanded with the help of the Over the Hill Gang. The Rendezvous moved to the heart of downtown San Bernardino in 1992. That year, more than 700 vehicles filled the streets in celebration of the 66th anniversary of Route 66 “The Mother Road.” BEST WHEN VIEWED LARGER This year there were over 2000 awesome cars!!! They drive, park and start their engines!! San Bernardino, California. 2009 /
