Along 66, June 2021: Threatt Gas Station and Pacific, Missouri

These are taken from the Route 66 News blog site.  I do not write about every one of their posts, just the ones of more interest to me.  If you want the most current news about what is going on along the Mother Road, Route 66, this is the site for you.

There is a post most every day and sometimes more than one as well as more information than I give, so, check the site out.

JUNE 4

The Threatt Filling Station made America's Most Endangered Historic Places list.   It is located near Luther, Oklahoma.

The National Trust for Historic Places issues an annual list of America's top 11 most endangered places

This station was one of the few places black motorists could go to during the age of Jim Crow along Route 66.  A very sad page in the road's history.  We must have passed it on a trip before, but I don't remember it.

JUNE 8
