Route 66

“If you ever plan to motor west
Travel my way, take the highway that is best
Get your kicks on Route sixty six
It winds from Chicago to LA
More than two thousand miles all the way
Get your kicks on Route sixty six
Now you go through Saint Looey
Joplin, Missouri
And Oklahoma City is mighty pretty
You see Amarillo
Gallup, New Mexico
Flagstaff, Arizona
Don't forget Winona
Kingman, Barstow, San Bernandino
Won't you get hip to this timely tip
When you make that California trip
Get your kicks on Route sixty six”

Thanks so much for commenting on my photo of the old gas station along old Route 66. This is in a small town, Moriarty, New Mexico. Rte. 66 goes through Albuquerque, but most of the old neon signs are now gone and the buildings in a higher-crime area. There have been some efforts at revitalization, so perhaps one day . . .

Another great retro shot!
