One last time with the Route 66 Chamber of Commerce survey.
These were the most common observations of business owners and their employees.
1. There are about as many travelers as last year but they are spending much less.
2. Foreign visitors are poor tippers.
3. Many stop to snap a photo then drive away without coming inside.
4. Overseas visitors know more about the history of Route 66 than Americans do.
5. There seem to be as many travelers heading east as are going west this year.
6. Except for the groups, I can't tell the Route 66 travelers from local area and interstate travelers.
7. The local Chamber of Commerce does not promote Route 66 as much as they should.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
