Route 66 is BACK in Springfield MO!

Cruising on Kearney (Route 66 thru Springfield) was banned back in the 90s.
Last night it was back BIGTIME!

We cruised the strip twice then parked for a while. Damn. I had whiplash! SO freakin many cars, trucks and rods! And people!
I loved all the Chevys and Corvettes!
Here's a link with some pictures.
Enjoy.

Chief businesses are churches, banks and bars. Quite an interesting mix of people.

Steak-n-Shake to A and W - and back - and back again.

Used to swelter in the summer keeping the windows up on my car pretending I had A/C. Good times.
