Albert Okura, owner of the Juan Pollo restaurant chain in Southern California, owns the Route 66 hamlet of Amboy, Calif., and has been working diligently to preserve and restore it.
Charlie Garcia is working with Okura to produce videos about Amboy and hopefully acquire some memorabilia from the Mojave Desert town. Those who have old pictures of Amboy and the like are asked to e-mail RoysCafe66(at)yahoo(dot)com.
But this slideshow mostly of Amboy’s buildings becomes really intriguing about the 2:12 mark:
That’s a newly fabricated and downsized replica of the Roy’s sign in Amboy, which has been installed at the Juan Pollo restaurant in Barstow, Calif.
Garcia also says the Juan Pollo in Barstow may add recipes from the original Roy’s restaurant in Amboy. I suspect the recipes will include these.
