Route 66 1

Route 66 6

Route 66. To some, just another highway. For others, a booming time of America’s history. When in Arizona, it just seems natural to travel a portion of this road... just to see how it must have felt for those in the past travelling from Chicago to Los Angeles. While there, it is a bit irritating as it is not complete anymore. One gets led on and off of the I-40. But there are still impressive sections remaining.

Route 66 5

One town you will see on the Route 66 is Williams. One highlight of the town was a typical diner, “Goldie’s Diner” as one would have expected to see in the 50’s or 60’s and it is a charming experience eating there. The diner is complete with old pictures and memorbilia of a time in the past.

Now the town seems a mix of the old and new. Worn down buildings of once successful businesses indicate a former booming town that prospered from the road going through. Now these relicts are just a memory of the past.

Route 66 8
There is a funny place decked up like an old western saloon. Inside it you will find a gift shop.

Seligman, Arizona is a town that really seemed quite dedicated to the Route 66. There are numerous gift shops with souveniers and memorabilia.
Route 66 9

Route 66 4
Sadly, many old businesses lost out to the new interstate. There are a lot of reminders in the town such as run down buildings and old forgotten cars and trucks.

Route 66 2
This is one of the many old artifacts found parked in the town.

Route 66 3
At the same time, well kept old cars, taxis and trucks from the 50’s era are parked on the road to add to the feeling of how it used to be. This could be a smorgesbord for fans of old timers.

 

 

Route 66 10
The town of Seligman is not really big, and all of these attractions are found on the old Route 66. There are not too many but it is amusing to stop and see what is there.

All around there are reminders such as old street signs and license plates of the past.
Route 66 11

This is one of the gift shops found in Seligman.
