I get these from the Route 66 News blog site. I, however, just pick the stories I am most interested in. For more news, go to the site which has at least one story from 66 everyday.

The Skyview Drive-In Theater in Litchfield, Illinois has been put up for sale at $420,000. It can serve up to 700 vehicles.
Drive-Ins across the country saw their business go up rapidly because of the pandemic.
They reopened already for their 71st season.
We are fortunate here in McHenry County, Illinois, to have an old drive-in theater in the City of McHenry (and this one has a concrete screen, not like the billboard screens that the Skyview has. I like to go to our local Dog 'N Suds in Ingleside, Illinois, get a coney dog or charcoburger and wash it down with that great root beer and then go see a move. That's my real retro thing.

A vintage gas pump was stolen from the Owl Court property in Oklahoma City. The Owl Court motel dates back to 1931. The pump to 1930.
Brew Brother Coffee is located in the long-closed motel's office.
