It is sad to see how many businesses have closed down because of the new highway

Not to take anything away from 66, but… You can still drive US Route 281 from the southern tip of Texas 1,875 miles straight up the center line of the country to the Canadian border. It was never replaced by interstates, never decommissioned, still sees a lot of traffic, and still goes through a lot of small town main streets and courthouse squares. There are abandoned gas stations… mom-and-pop motels still operating… some fine places to eat… and yes, some eccentric roadside attractions that are not nearly as well explored and documented as those along Route 66.

Route 66 should be protected like a national park. It is essential classic Americana history! It is a beautiful part of American culture! 👍🏽🇺🇸

Love 66, but don't forget that the Lincoln Highway predated 66 and stretched 3400 miles all the way from NY to San Fran.

There are still some. Some businesses are operating as they were 70 years ago, some are preserved as attractions, and sadly some are dilapidated.

I think it would be so cool to make this a walking path- kind of like a new type of through-hike... I think it sounds fun. People could open up camping sites and also cool little bungalow motels again.

They should just maintain whatever is left of the hotel sings and restaurants as historical sites because IT IS an identity,a face of what our country looked like,of who we are how far we’ve come.
