Descriere magazin:
The Mother Road has been open since 1926. Its heyday was the World War II and postwar era, with many roadside structures springing up to cater to the tin-can tourists making the journey from East to West. Route 66 historian Sonderman takes readers on the 2,500-mile trip, from Chicago to the end point in Santa Monica. The \'Mother Road\' or the \'Will Rogers Highway\' has been open since 1926. Its heyday was the WWII and post-war era and many roadside structures sprang up to cater for the tin-can tourists making the journey from East to West. Gas stations, motels, and diners all had to compete for business and what better way to attract attention than with a wacky feature such as a wigwam motel, an iceberg cafe, or a whale-themed diner.Route 66 Then and Now revisits some of these bizarre (and not-so-bizarre) structures to see what\'s left before time takes its toll. Some, such as the Magnolia Service Station in Kansas, have been preserved on the National Historic Register; others, such as the Aztec Motel in Albuquerque, are still doing a thriving business; while others have simpy vanished from the landscape.Starting in Chicago, Route 66 Then and Now takes in the motels, cafes, gas stations, roadside attractions and key towns and sites along the route. From the Blue Whale in Catoosa, past Angel Delgadillo\'s store in Seligman, Arizona, to the end point in Santa Monica, Route 66 historian Joe Sonderman takes readers on the 2,500-mile trip, illustrated by his fabulous postcard collection.Includes: Illinois: Chicago, Joliet, Dwight, Pontiac, Logan County. Missouri: St. Louis, Lebanon, Springfield, Joplin. Kansas: Galena, Baxter Springs. Oklahoma: Catoosa, Tulsa, Sayre. Texas: Shamrock, Amarillo, Glenrio. New Mexico: Santo Domingo, Gravel Hill, Albuquerque. Arizona: Holbrook, Winslow, Two Guns, Flagstaff, Seligman, Kingman.
