A Christmas video

I was surfing around for a Yuletide-themed video that takes place on Route 66, and here’s a good one.

It’s a video by reader and occasional contributor Ace Jackalope. It’s of City Hall in Joplin, Mo., with its Christmas displays.

Ace writes:

This is all the cooler because the building used to be Newman’s department store. In fact, the displays were designed by Fred Lemley, former marketing manager of Newman’s.

Also, City Hall is on Route 66 – 602 S Main St, on the SW corner of 6th and Main streets.

The display reminds me of the elaborate displays once seen at Marshall Fields in Chicago. Or, better yet, Higbee’s from a certain popular Christmas movie.
