NOVEMBER 25
The Neon Museum of St. Louis has opened on a Route 66 alignment. (And there sure are a lot of 66 alignments through that city, good luck.)
It is at 3537 Choteau Street (Route 66)
It is owned and operated by artist Deborah Katon. It is located in a former garage. They also have vintage signs from St. Louis businesses. They make new pieces and acquire old ones. One interesting one is "My Schnucks Brings It Home." Schnucks is a supermarket chain that started in St. Louis.
Like I say, you can never have too much neon.
NOVEMBER 27
Gearhead Curios in Galena, Kansas, is to hold an official ribbon-cutting ceremony on June 17, 2023.
It is in a former Texaco station.
Galena is one town really pursuing its Route 66 heritage. The Four Women on the Route really got things rolling. Thanks ladies.
