How about That US-60?

Reading about Pie Town, I decided to research US-60, since it goes through the town.

Good old Wikipedia provided a few more details on Pie Town which is located near the Continental Divide in New Mexico. It is unincorporated and the 1940 pictures were taken by Farm Security Administration photographer Russell Lee. His restaurant was called the Daily Pie Cafe.


US Highway 60

The World's Smallest Museum in Arizona has a mug specially-priced at $5.99 to commemorate what they call "America's First Coast to Coast Highway," US-60

From Wikipedia: US-60 is now decommissioned in California, although in LA, it is part of I-10 and there are stretches of the original road out in the desert.

It runs southwest to northeast through the Texas Panhandle.

In Missouri, it passes through Sikeston, home of the famous "Throwed Roll" Lambert's, well-worth a stop. Fill up on pies in Pie Town, then get your your rolls and great 'cue at Lambert's.

William Jefferson Blythe, Jr., the father of former President Bill Clinton, died on US-60 (now Route 114) outside of Sikeston, after being thrown from his car and drowning in a drainage ditch.

Kansas might be proud of its 13 miles of Route 66, but Illinois takes credit for the shortest stretch of US-60 with a .92 mile part running concurrent with US-62 at the very southern tip near Cairo. It goes by Fort Defiance State Park where the Ohio and Mississippi rivers join together.
