I was an art history student so viewing these paintings for me is the best part of your trip. Thank you Jordan!

And so it begins! Exciting because I always wanted to do this trip. Thank you Jordan and Scott! By the way, the song about getting your kicks was recorded by Bobby Troup who was from here where I live. In fact my mother worked for his father at Troups Music House which was a record and music store. And whenever his son would come to town he always came to the store to say hello. Mom said he always wore a turtleneck shirt. Whenever we watched the show Emergency she would point him out!

Thanks for coming out and meeting us at The Chicken Basket. It was great to meet both you and Scott.

Nothing better than doing Route 66 with friends.

In three years 100th anniversary of Route 66...my plan is to do the whole route then. But... In the meantime...cannot find enough words to tell you how much I love you and Scott taking this adventure together! 💪❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I remember on my high school senior class trip I went to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC and they were having a Surat exhibit with all his paintings. As a artist myself that museum blew me away. I would like to go back again.

I grew up in Chicago & I remember first seeing Sunday On The Grand when I was in kindergarten at Schubert School on the Northwest side. I was intrigued when our teacher Mrs. Sears told us it was painted solely from dots. That was almost 54 years ago & I've never forgotten that. Still intrigues me actually. What talent. I also went to a wedding in 2005 at the diamond building, it was exquisite. And Buckingham Fountain wasn't on yet? It's never later than Memorial Day. Uh oh! I never knew there was a peice of Edinburgh Castle in the Tribune tower. Edinburgh is my favorite place in the world....besides my hometown of Chicago.😉

love your “Taking care of business in a flash⚡️” necklace, Jordan 👌

What an awesome day!! Used to visit the Art Institute every chance I had,, loved it there!! Berrrwyyynn! Ha! 👍 Glad you're getting your kicks on Roooot 66! 😜 Looking forward to see what you've got tomorrow!! 👌

I have been to Chicago and that museum. I grew up from 6th grade in San Diego. I love museums and just getting lost in them

Its always super to see you and Scott travel together! Stay safe & have fun! Continued prayers for your Papaw. 🙏

I hated for this video to end. You and Scott together is always such a treat. Great video Jordan. 😊

Jordan, I couldn't believe it when you started walking toward that painting. When I was there several years ago I had to come back to it at least three times! I couldn't stop marveling at it, almost like I was never going to be able to take it all in and I don't know why. There is just something about that woman, that painting, and I can see why Bill Murray was so affected by it.

I love this! I can feel and see the great energy and fun your having with Scott on this Route 66 Journey....Looking forward to watching each day of your trip!😊✌️

Thanks to both of of you for taking your followers on this journey

Superb v/log Jordan. I've seen your past ones on Route66, and I'm hooked on this. I'm a retired Pensioner in Scotland and this trip is top of my bucket list.

My daughter and I are leaving July 8th going to AZ via route 66. Thank you will be taking notes of places to stop and see.

This is awesome! I've always wanted to travel this route but never had the opportunity, now I get to see it through you. Thank you Jordan!!

Loved the first day. Can't wait to see where we end up next. Glad you and Scott are having such fun. Both of you take care.

Hi Jordan and Scott, well, what a superb start to the roadtrip. There were some really beautiful paintings in that Gallery. That house had a stunning front garden with the flowers. Always lovely to meet other Lionhearts. Great vlog Jordan.

Love this! I used to live in Chicago and miss it so much!❤ I have always wanted to travel the entire Route 66. So fun to see you and Scott doing this trip together!💕

10:36 “BERRRR-WYNN?” 🤣 Sorry, I had to. If you’ve ever seen Screaming Yellow Theater, Son of Svengoolie, or modern day Svengoolie, you know.

Jordan is a solid professional IMO he’s the best

Love you two together! Route 66 runs through my town! Bloomington IL and my granddaughter lives in Wheaton newly married! It's so cool up there! Thanks!

I can’t wait to watch this series play out! Jordan and Scott Cruisin 66!

As a native Chicagoan, you did a great job vlogging Downtown Chicago and the Art Institute, etc. I've been to Del Rhea's Chicken Basket several times over the years but I do remember going there back in the 1950's with all of our neighbors. We lived on the southwest side of the city so it was a little bit of a road trip for us. Good memories, good times! My brother-in-law's brother was an extra in the Blues Brothers. He was a Chicago cop in real life. Thanks for sharing - you always do a great job!

We took this trip in 1972 & 2012 it was fun both times ❤

Wow so great to see you and Scott together, what a blast. Loved the Blues Brothers, big fan of both actors. Loved all your sites be safe you two can’t wait to see more😻😎🐾

Here we go!!!!! I've been so looking forward to this. Thank you!

Huge History Guy here, I am ALL OVER THIS !! Great Start looking forward to the rest of the series !! Thank you, Jordan !!

I graduated from Nathan Hale HS in Tulsa Oklahoma a famous Route 66 destination Paul McCartney loved so much he played Tulsa twice at BOK center. I seen him both times he was phenomenal

My Dad died in 2002, but he told me a great story when I was a teenager in the 80's. My Dad graduated high school in 1956 from Carl Sandberg high in Orland Park, IL. That same year, his Grandpa retired from International Harvester in Chicago. His Grandpa bought a place in Gardena, CA, to retire at. So, in the fall of 1956, they headed out to L.A. down from Chicago down Route 66. Grandpa and Grandson on a journey. I can only imagine how in looked and felt back then. They veered of track to stop in Las Vegas for a couple of days. Can you imagine? They did it in a 1954 Crown Victoria.

Scott Michaels is right, Jordan. It’s always a great education seeing your videos. I thoroughly enjoyed this first stop. You showed so much in just a few minutes. Lucky family to spend some time with you guys too. Bless their hearts and bless you and Scott too. 🙏🏻❤️😎💎

I’ve lived in Chicago all my life and have often been to so many of these wonderful places. I wish I could have met up with you on this trip. Happy trails and hope you “get your kicks on Route 66” Jordan our ol’ pal!

My wife and I were just in Joliet for a show at the Rialto , we visited the museum and ate breakfast at the Route 66 Diner .

Hi Jordan, and Mr. Scott Michaels. thank you for taking us on you Route 66 journey we are so looking forward to it. Also Jordan we enjoyed the great other videos you posted like Mable Normand, showing us where you used to live, Ted Danson, the Dalton House and tunnel, and the Jesse James, loved the Doris Day, the Calvory collection was good, and you trip with your girlfriend to the Spam museum, that was interesting. Colonel Sanders was interesting as well. Most of all we love the fact your Papaw is doing better. We are very happy for you and your family. also Jordan it looks like you only need 10 more subscribes to be at 300K subscribes. That is so awesome. Can't wait to see tomorrows Route 66 video, you and Scott have a great day.

I am so excited about this trip. ❤

Route 66 Arizona Kingsman Love my favorite one fan Big 💖💖💖💖⭐️🎶

🦁 Jordan you started the trip off in Chicago during perfect weather. Safe Travels!

The thought of Bill Murray staring at that picture, an thinking about waking up an there being another day... Maybe thats why he played in the movie " Groundhogs Day " !! lol

Oh wow, Jordan and Scott, I'm so glad you are taking me along. This is so fun. Thanks. Stay safe please.

having been born/raised in chicago, I always appreciated when I went to the Art Institute and Orchestra Hall which was right across the street and the Goodman Theatre was a couple blocks over, all were in Grant Park.

This is going to be a great adventure! TY Jordan. So glad Scott is along for the adventure.

So excited for this. Ferris Bueller's day off is my favorite movie so seeing that painting at the start was amazing. Such a meaningful scene too. Enjoy Jordan and friends!

Seeing that statue of Jack Brickhouse bought back many memories for me since I've been a LOYAL Cubs fan since going to my 1st game back in 1966! One of the most memorable lines from Jack was when Milt Pappas was pitching his Perfecto (The ump robbed him with a bad call) when a ball was hit to left center field and Bill North slipped on the grass but HOFer Sweet Swinging Billy Williams came out of nowhere to make the catch! Jack lost his voice on that call alone " bill north slips and falls down but billy williams comes outta nowhere to make THE CATCH!!"

I am so glad you are doing this Route 66 series Jordan ❤

Had a few family members and my next to youngest bro who worked at THE BIG HOUSE until it closed down! Man the stories they would tell about this great piece of history! I've done Alcatraz a few times, but when I go back home, I'm gonna take the tour.

What an amazing start to the trip!!! So much to take in - all of it terrific. Thank you Jordan and Scott. Also, as our family are overseas viewers and can't attend meet ups, it's always great to meet fellow Lion Hearts.

hi Jordan and Scott Michaels , enjoy your travels on route 66 .i been watching the old vlogs with dearly departed an Jordan tours. that was cool seeing your viewers

I ❤ visiting art museums. It's nice to see these well-known paintings.

This is awesome. Loved Joliet Prison. Thanks guys!

Jordan and Scott- what a great video of Chicago and Route 66. I’m thinking of doing this run next year. By watching you two. It will let me know what is interesting to see. Thanks and safe travels

Love Route 66 videos. Not sure I will ever do the entire thing. Will watch you every mile of the way.

Oh, Jordan! I loved this video. It looks like you're having so much fun. I'm looking forward to videos to come as you travel Route 66.

I was born and raised in Joliet, I’ll. Now living in Washington.

Stopped at the Joliat prison a couple weeks ago. Very interesting. I think the white Corvette you saw at the Joliat visitor center was from the Route 66 TV show from the 1960s. The first Dairy Queen was on Route 66 in Joliat, not too far from the prison. Nothing in the building there except for a little sign.

Deep dish pizza? Your enthusiasm is unmatched, Jordan. Many happy times ahead for you and Scott.

Fun to see places you go. A lot of places I have been. We’re all crossing paths!

Excited to see your Route 66 journey ❤️ So nice of you to meet up with one of your long time subscriber supporters! Would love to meet you at the end of the line in Santa Monica, not sure if you're going to go all the way to the end, and when .. I hope I am here if you do ❤ safe travels to you and Scott!

Always wanted to do this trip. So glad you and Scott are getting to do it. Great trip. Great adventure. Safe travels.

Looking forward to all the Route 66 adventures Jordan!

I've always wanted to drive Route 66. That was my husband and I's retirement plan but I unfortunately lost my husband to COVID.

Such a great way to start route 66!! Looking forward to this wonderful road trip!!

Starting a day late but going to catch up! This is so exciting for me! Always wanted to do this! Thanks Jordan! 🌈🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸

Loved the first video of Route 66. Can’t wait to see the rest 😊

You are taking the trip I’ve always wanted to take!

Great fun Jordan and Scott! Looking forward to the next cities

"Berwyn..." You gotta mention Svengoolie :)

Great locations, very interesting to see. The bean reminds me of the spaceship from the'flight of the navigator movie'.I'm looking forward to day 2. Cheers, Jordan .

Best ever-loved it all!!!

The giant guy with the chicken and hot sauce is Muffler Man that has been recycled. You will see a number of converted Muffler Men on Route 66. Keep your eyes open for more.

Being born and raised in the Chicago area I really loved this one. I am looking forward to the rest and the ones on Scott's channel! Thank you!

WOWWOWOWWOW SO EXCITED FOR THIS TRIP ROUTE 66….❤❤❤Thanks Jordan from 🇨🇦🥰😘

66 runs right through my town. Claremore ok. There is the Will Rogers Memorial and the JM Davis Gun Museum. They are terrific to see.

Looks like a great first day. Safe travels.

So glad you’re finally doing Route 66. I remember asking if you were interested in doing this trip on a livestream and you weren’t at the time but I’m so happy you had a change of heart

Watching you do 66 will be fun! You got me hooked on Scott's videos too! My home is in the area of Carthage Joplin Mo. Have fun you two!!

Hi Jordan & Scott, What a way to start your trip on Route 66. I really enjoyed the art museum. It was nice to see a long time fan of your channel & her family. I am familiar with Scott’s channel as well. Have watched quite a few of his vlogs. Good to see you both enjoying the ride 😃

Don't miss one of my favorite restaurants on Route 66. Tally's Good Food in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Enjoyed this a whole bunch. Thanks so much

Good one Jordan, I hope you had breakfast at Jubilets in Litchfield on Route 66!

Looking forward to your videos!!! Safe travels!!!

Very cool. My eye doctor's office is very near Millenium Park like two blocks away on Washington...I worked at Water Tower Place for several years right next door to the Hancock bldg so some familiar places in there...Love The Art Institute haven't been there in ages tho...Never heard that Bill Murray story before...glad that painting made him change his mind...love his movies...Love the Blues Brothers. When I worked at Water Tower movie theater that movie used to sell out so fast. People were calling the box office offering bribes to save them tickets but I was too honest to do that...I remember sitting on the floor in the theater on lunch breaks watching it in bits n pieces cuz there were literally no empty seats in a very long time...Had no idea that prison was no longer in service and was now a tourist attraction...This is really cool sharing your kicks on Route 66...Love it. Thanks for sharing your adventure. Meant to tell you that fountain with the moving face in Millenium Park you pointed out morphs into many different faces if you watch it long enough...

Excited to join you on your trip!

So cool. Love you both.

2012 for my ROUTE 66 road trip......thanks again for the memories Jordan.

The Steven Sondheim musical "Sunday in the Park with George" is based on the Seurat painting. The set is a duplicate of the painting.

Hi Jordan an Scott awesome
