Along 66, March 2020: Afton Station, Bob's Gasoline Alley and Andy Payne

These are taken from the Route 66 News site, your place to get the latest info and happenings on Route 66.  The site has a lot more items, I just pick out the ones of most interest to me.

MARCH 3--  Afton Station in Afton, Oklahoma. is up for sale again.  It was sold at auction less than a year ago.  The historic structure is listed for $174,000 and the current owners bought it at auction for $72,000 on June 29, 2019.  Nice profit, guys, if you can get it.

Always enjoyed stopping there after negotiating the Sidewalk Highway and talking with Laurel Kane and the folks who kept it running after her death.  And, Afton sure needs a shot in the arm.  Too bad they aren't going to buy it and do something.

MARCH 4--  Bob Muller, creator of Bob's Gasoline Ally near Cuba, Missouri, has died at age 67.    Unfortunately, we never had the opportunity to meet him.

MARCH 10--  Improvements are coming to the Andy Payne Park in Foyil, Oklahoma.  With a $11,000 budget three picnic tables, a covered children's play area among other things have been added.

This is 75% funded by the Cherokee Nation of which Foyil is a member.

Improvements Always Welcome.  --RoadDog
