The Mayor of Edmonds, Ok, a suburb of Oklahoma City, will be attending a Mayors Institute of City design at Washington University in St. Louis. Edmonds is only the third Oklahoma city to be involved in this, the other two being OKC and Tulsa.
Dan O'Neal, the mayor, in an article in the Nov, 26th Edmond Sun, said he is interested in making his city's five mile stretch more Route 66ish. There really isn't much there that would make a person think of Route 66. He says he is impressed with all the publicity nearby Arcadia is getting for Pops and the Round Barn, and would like Edmonds to get in on it.
I've been through Edmonds on several occasions and would have to agree with the mayor.
Let's hope something comes out of this.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
