From the May 12, 2010, Pasadena (Ca) Star News by Claudia Heller.
The town was named after railroad construction supervisor Jacob Nash Victor and the place really blossomed with the coming of good old Route 66. Garages, cafes, motels and gas stations were built. One famous lodging was the New Corral Hotel. The Trails Restaurant , a Route 66 icon opened in 1952 and was demolished in 2001.
The California Route 66 Museum is located in town.
Then, there is a place I ate at called Emma Jean's on the eastern edge of Victorville, the home of the Brian Burger and today called the Holland Burger. It appeared in the movie "Kill Bill 2."
That Was One Great Burger!! --RoadDog
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.
