AUGUST 16-- Frank Yellowhorse, longtime operator of Chief Yellowhorse Trading Post has died at age 87. He was a member of the Navajo Nation and the post was located at Lupton, Arizona, near the New Mexico border.
An integral part of the Route 66 lore.
AUGUST 18-- Cadillac Ranch goes political in this intense election year. Pop star Rihanna spraypainted the message "F*** Trump" on one of the Caddies. Trump supporters then replied to her, not just one one car, but all of them.
Very adult of you, Rihanna.
AUGUST 19-- The Route 66 Neon Sign Park is taking shape in Tulsa, Oklahoma There are three replicas of classic neon signs installed so far: Will Rogers Motor Court, Oil Capital Motel and the Tulsa Auto Court. They are located in a small park at the south end of then historic 11th Street Bridge which once carried 66 traffic over the Arkansas River.
We can always use more neon anything, especially large neon signs like these. Way to go, Tulsa.
Lighting Up the Night in Tulsa. --RoadNeon
