1. GAS STATION-- From 2-2-13 York (Cal) Daily Record-- The old gas station in Rancho Cucamonga, on the northwest corner of Foothill Boulevard (Rt 66) opened in the 1910s and operated until the 1970s. A group hopes to restore it and turn it into a must-see stop.
Good luck to them.
2. BILLBOARD AND SIGN MUSEUM-- From the Oklahoman "Route 66 enthusiasts want a billboard and sign museum in Oklahoma" by Robert Monday. Want porcelain and neon signs in Bethany, Oklahoma. The proposed downtown building is over a hundred years old. Kathy Anderson wants it to be a destination.
Another great idea and especially with all the towns with the abandoned stores downtown after Route 66 was abandoned.
3. BRIDGE OUT-- From the 3-25-13 Oklahoman-- The former Route 66 bridge in Sapulpa, Ok., the Rock Creek Bridge, is closed to traffic because of truss damage. Built in 1921. Sad to hear this.
Always Good to See Preservation and New Uses. --RoadDog
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.
