Joplin City Hall in downtown Joplin, Mo., decorates its windows each year for the Christmas season. This year, the windows took on a Route 66 theme as well.
Ace Jackalope was there Friday for opening night.
Joplin is hosting the International Route 66 Festival in August 2013.
Envious (on behalf of Tulsa) of this windows project that obviously required an impressive spirit of cooperation among Joplin retailers. We could learn a lesson here. Speaks well for the possibilities of a great Festival next summer.
Reminds me of when the downtown Joplin department store windows were decorated for the holidays and throngs of locals were everywhere. This was not only a “fun” display, but educational as well. The Route 66 Chamber of Commerce donated the “America’s Main Street” banner that closed the video.
It’s always fun to see what the City Hall elves have created for the windows each year!
