Not far from Cuba is Fanning's U.S. 66 Outpost general Store which features the world's largest rocking chair, clocking in at 42-feet 1 inch.
ROLLA-- The Totem Pole Trading Post at 1413 Martin Springs Drive, old Route 66, claims to be the oldest business on Route 66 that is still operating. A classic tourist trap if there ever was one. Then there is that huge sign.
DEVIL'S BEND-- The Elbow Inn & BBQ is a classic bikers' bar on a bypassed section of Route 66 by Hooker Cut. This stretch of 66 is my favorite drive on all of Route 66.
LEBANON-- The local K-Mart has been converted into the town library and the Route 66 Museum and Research Center at 915 S. Jefferson Avenue. They have 2,000 to 3,000 visitors a month during the tourist season. Then, of course, there is the Munger-Moss Motel. A real classic.

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.
