Although I risk appearing as a crotchety geezer, I find this to be a fine example of "different strokes for different folks" because I hate Route 66 for the exact same reason.
Excellent link though, SideDish. I learned some reasons for the importance of this road to the American highway system. Thanks. ....but the tourist traps! Arrgh! I can't stand 'em.
i love tacky tourist traps! and their assorted souvenirs.
I do, too! A couple of years ago, I rode down Route 66 with a couple of friends. I'm a complete sucker for things like foot-high pie and "world's largest" whatevers.
