Historic Route 66 (September 18-21, 2019)

The nearly 2500-mile Route 66, opened in 1926 and closed in 1985, ran from Chicago through the Amarillo to California.  Many of the old buildings remain, renovated as restaurants, for instance. 

The former real estate office/hardware store behind me is now the Blue Crane Bakery.

The Route 66 antique store has an arbor exactly like ours!  The owner found hers at an antique store; we found ours at an Austin antique store.  Claim to fame:  the punk band Cottonmouth Kings used our arbor (before we bought it) as a stage entrance.

Great name for a convenience store
