A clearinghouse of news and events about historic Route 66, the Mother Road.
Route 66 blog roundup 9/25
Nicole of Kingman, Ariz., tells what it’s like to live near the Street Racing event in downtown — blocked driveways, the smoke of burning tires in the air, and not hearing the town’s ubiquitous trains.
Bearnard B. Behr on Route 66 travels the Mother Road through western Arizona, including stops at the Snow-Cap restaurant, Angel Delgadillo’s barbershop, Hackberry General Store and Oatman.
Shane and his dad hop on their Harleys and check out a new, well-decorated 1950s diner on Route 66 in Glendora, Calif. Alas, Shane doesn’t give the name of the place. UPDATE: Helen Baker informs me that it’s the Legends Classic Diner.
Martha Middleton of Notes on Needles General Plan recommends preserving a few of the California desert town’s historic Route 66 motels, among other recommendations. The purpose of the blog is a bit murky, but I’m guessing it’s examining the city’s general plan and seeing how it relates to the current day.
The diner is called Legends Classic Diner, it’s at 1155 E. Route 66 (Foothill Blvd.), Glendora, CA CA 91740

Thanks for the info, Helen.
