BAGDAD CAFE, Newberry Springs, California
Located east of Barstow and west of Amboy in the Mojave Desert, Bagdad, California, was a thriving Route 66 town until it was bypassed by I-40 in the early 1970s.
Any remaining buildings were razed by 1990s.
Although the town was the setting for a novel and movie, "Bagdad Cafe" in Newberry Springs, California.
Built in the 1950s and renamed Bagdad Cafe in 1995, the spot is still a popular destination for international fans of the film or anyone else looking for a good burger and a cup of coffee.
We didn't stop because they weren't open when we drove by back in 2006.
