JANUARY 10
The 16th neon sign has been completed in Tulsa, thanks to the city's Neon Sign Grant Program.
This sign is at Justin Thompson Catering located near 11th Street, which, of course, is none other than good ol' 66.
Like the guy on SNL said, to paraphrase him, "We need more neon." You can never ever have too much neon.
JANUARY 11
A new exhibit in Joplin, Missouri examines Route 66's impact on culture. The exhibit is called "Route 66: Crossing Lines" and is at the Spiva Center for the Arts and runs through March 6.
Just in time for Black History Month, it focuses on black baseball players and jazz artists.
Jackie Robinson and Satchel Paige, while in the old Negro Baseball League, played in Joplin's Miners Park.
Jazz performers Ella Fitzgerald, Dizzy Gillespie and Duke Ellington also performed in Joplin.
More Neon!! --RoadDog
