Along 66, Dec. 2020: The Stanley Court-Tel Neon Sign Headed for the Route 66 Neon Sign Park in St. Robert, Missouri

DECEMBER 27

It's new home will be at the historic George M. Reed Roadside Park's Route 66 Neon Park.  It is expected to take 90 days for the restoration.

For many years, it was kept at Rich Henry's Rabbit Ranch on Route 66 in Staunton, Illinois.

The Stanley Cour-Tel was razed to make way for St. Louis' Lambert Airport.  The motel housed Apollo 1 astronauts while training for the first Apollo trip.
