Along 66, February 2018: Kingman's Arch, Launching Pad, Cyrus Avery III
FEBRUARY 15-- Kingman oks arch near Locomotive Park. The $177,736 cost will be paid for by motel taxes. Like with neon signs, you can never have too many arches.
FEBRUARY 15-- The grandson of Cyrus "Father of Route 66" Avery dies at age 85. Cyrus Avery III.
FEBRUARY 16-- Launching Pad Drive-In in Wilmington, Illinois, may partially reopen for the May Red Carpet Corridor celebration. The 30-foot tall Gemini Giant is still there, thankfully, despite the place's closure for six years.
Full opening is scheduled for 2019.
