Along 66, April 2018: An Endangered List and New Baseball Team
APRIL 27-- The Nite Spot Cafe in Fairmont City, Illinois, is on the Landmarks Illinois Annual Most-Endangered list. The town is located outside St. Louis. It has a neat-looking neon sign.
APRIL 28-- The Joplin, Missouri, baseball team's new logo contains Route 66. They play at Joe Becker Stadium and the name 66ers was proposed, but the name "Miners" was selected, but Route 66 will be appearing in the team's logo.
The team plays in the Independent Southwest League. They had a MLB minor league team called the Joplin Miners from 1902 to 1954. Mickey Mantle played there.
