Exploring the Inland Empire’s Route 66

Here’s a good video about The Magic Lamp Inn restaurant, which has graced Route 66 in Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., since 1955.

This is part of the ongoing Inland Empire Explorer series.

Here are more Route 66-related videos about Sierra Bakery and Wigwam Motel in Rialto, and the McDonald’s Museum in San Bernardino (owned by Juan Pollo restaurant chain owner Albert Okura, who also happens to own the entire Route 66 hamlet of Amboy).

(Apologies for the lack of videos on this post, but the makers turned off embedding on each of the clips.)

And there’s even a video of Route 66 Memories, apparently before it closed a few weeks ago.

If you’re in the Inland Empire region, segments can be viewed at these television channels. Or you can view all the videos at its Vimeo channel.
