NOVEMBER 9
Restoration has been completed on the Red Cedar Inn's neon sign near Pacific, Missouri. This is a project to the Route 66 Association of Missouri.
They had a ceremonial relighting on November 8.
The restaurant opened in 1932 in that neat rustic log cabin building and closed abruptly. We had planned on eating there, but drove past it in 2002 and 2003. By the time we got around to it, they were closed.
The city of Pacific is going to reopen it as a visitors center. Looking forward to visiting the place.
NOVEMBER 11
Barb Adkins, manager of the Route 66 Cruising With Lincoln on 66 Visitors Center in Bloomington, Illinois, died at age 66. She had previously worked many years for the city.
Sorry to hear that. But we are so happy Bloomington-Normal has FINALLY become aware of their Route 66 heritage and she was a large part of that awakening.
Better Late Than Never. --RoadDog
