I meant to post this a while ago, but this is what downtown Galena, Kan., and its Route 66 corridor looks like:
The streetscape makeover was covered by grants, and accentuates its Route 66 heritage.
Renee Charles, one of the original 4 Women on the Route in Galena, says people who hadn’t been in Galena for a while positively gasp when they see it now.

Hooray and good for them. I saw some work being done along that stretch in March and wondered what was going on. This is an excellent excuse for making a run up there soon.
I rode through there with my dog, Harley, on my motorcycle last summer. I loved it! I am from near Portland, Oregon.
Can’t beleive the difference. We’ve compared this to our photographs from April 2011 and its amazing now! Well done to GAlena for making the effort.
