The Route 66 Yahoo E-Mail group had a site for a video featuring a band called the Morells playing a song called "Red's" recorded back around 1982. Must have watched it six times.
All I can say is that I really missed out in not being able to visit and eat at that place since it no longer exists.
Great song as well and you can tell the group members were big fans of the place. I'd have to call it "Cheeseburger in Paradise" meets Route 66. Even the owner, Red, was really getting into it. I also need to find out some more about the Morells. They look like the kind of band I can really enjoy.
On the recent Missouri Route 66 Motor Tour, we visited an RV park/motel that is big into Route 66 and they're intending to resurrect Red's out by I-44 in a vacant restaurant next door. But, the economy has forced them to put it on hold. They have the rights to the name and sign.

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.
