- Ken Turmel of Postmarkart fame reports that the Oklahoma highway department has begun replacing Oklahoma Highway 66 signs. New signs are being erected to celebrate the state's centennial next year. The new sign is pictured above.
- Scott Piotrowski reports that the Evergreen Motel in Duarte, Calif., has been torn down, apparently with little warning.
- And those who seek lodging along Route 66 in Vega, Texas, while the Vega Motel is closed indefinitely can use the once-maligned Bonanza Motel. Linda Drake of the Oldham County Chamber of Commerce reports that the Bonanza has new owners who've cleaned the place up, made repairs and are excited about operating a business on the Mother Road. Here's an old postcard image of the Bonanza.
