Along66, Sept. 2021: U-Drop Inn's Restaurant and a 9/11 Garden in Winslow

SEPTEMBER 9

U-Drop Inn's restaurant officially reopens for the first time in decades.   First time in 25 years.  It was built in 1936 and has that striking architecture.  Maybe we'll stop in for a bite next time through.

I went to their Facebook page and boy, those pies, ice cream concoctions and chicken 'n dumplings.  A definite stop.

*****************************

SEPTEMBER 11

There is a 9/11 Garden in Winslow, Arizona, has a beam from the fallen Twin Towers.

That is a definite direct piece of history.

Along 66, May 2021: The U-Drop Inn Cafe in Shamrock and More Tulsa Neon

MAY 20

The U-Drop Inn in Shamrock, Texas, will reopen its restaurant.  This will be the first time in a quarter century that it will be open..  The city owns the U-Drop Inn, but will lease the restaurant to Baldo de Leon who will call it the U-Drop Inn Cafe.

He and his parents have operated the El Sombrero restaurant in Shamrock for many years.

Looking forward to eating in that unique structure.

MAY 21

The 20th sign has been installed as part of Tulsa, Oklahoma's Route 66 Neon Sign Grant Program.

The newest one is at the Vault Restaurant at 620 S. Cincinnati Avenue, part of the original Route 66.

As I have often said, you can never have too much neon.
