Chris McGreal of The Guardian newspaper in London is retracing the Route 66 path of the Joad family from John Steinbeck’s seminal novel, “The Grapes of Wrath.”
Day Two of his journey includes a lot of material from Adrian, Texas, and the ghost town of Glenrio on the Texas-New Mexico border. Be sure to check out the video; it includes an interview with one of Glenrio’s few residents.
The story’s a bit bleak, but few would consider it to be inaccurate.
