The Mother Road! In the longest original CCF video evar, we take a look at westbound former U.S. Route 66. We cover a bunch of roadside attractions but certainly miss as many as are mentioned because there's simply too much to cover. Come get your kicks!

Control City Freak is updated weekly and covers every two digit Interstate Highway in America as well as other roads. I'll be showing control city signs on each 1 and 2 digit (2di) Interstate Highway in the continental United States and will strive to make as complete a record as possible, as well as various other highways. I'll also be getting into the roadgeek weeds here and there, showing downtown skylines and state border crossings, and making corny jokes. I welcome all to join my geeky tour of every primary Interstate in the country!

An interesting note on on US 191. US 191 used to begin in Brigham City Utah where it was a secondary roue in southeastern Idaho where strung together Pocatello, Blackfoot and Idaho Falls. US 20 went on to Rexburg. (If you're curious). After 1976 That US 191 was decommissioned. I next found it over in eastern Utah of I-70. It had been completely moved.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, I started studying Illinois Route 66. Cool things that are there are many old gas stations in towns like Dwight, Odell, Normal, Mount Olive, etc. And there is an old drive in theatre in Litchfield. And Springfield has a cool corn dog restaurant just north of the main interchange. So I learned over 4 years that Route 66 attractions far outweigh the mundane scenery in Illinois.

Growing up with an older brother who traveled across the Southeast US, the Midwest and the Rust Belt for AAU Basketball tournaments every summer, seeing these videos is like taking trip down memory lane while also seeing places I've never seen before (like every place west of Denver except for the city of Las Vegas). Because of those AAU trips lets just say I know the trek from my hometown of Ames, Iowa to places like Kansas City (both of them), Indianapolis, Louisville and Atlanta very well.

You may have not covered all of the roadside attractions on Route 66, but it is still an awesome video nonetheless, one of your best videos thus far. Also, the timing for this video is great, because tomorrow I'm going out to look for a Route 66 hoodie or shirt at a Love's Travel Stop. I think of all the places along Route 66 I'd like to visit the most would be Amarillo for the Big Texan Steakhouse, followed by ABQ, then Williams for a little trip to the Grand Canyon, and then to Oatman for a little good Old West action and scenery. lol Until next time, keep on trucking Todd! :) 👍👍

I was disappointed when Rand McNally had their 100 year anniversary edition, it didn't come with a map of the U.S. as it was in 1924. It wasn't long after until the U.S. Highway system started and it had numerous changes in the first few years. It'd be nice if Rand McNally would recreate old maps and sell them.

I drove most of US66 in August of 2000 starting in Springfield, IL and heading southwest. By the time I had raced across the flat desert toward Oatman chasing the setting Sun I questioned my choice as I wound through the twisty, winding mountain road. At one point I stopped and looked down at a rusted car that didn't make the narrow curve about 100 feet below. YIKES! Many of the towns along the Illinois and Oklahoma stretches had signs on the light poles advertising the route, so it was starting to jump the shark even back then. Some stretches through there offer 2 (and sometimes 3) alternatives as the routing changed over the decades. I stopped for a memorable breakfast at the Wagon Wheel Restaurant in Needles, CA where the waitresses are sassy and the platters are HUGE. Lots of memories, not many photos though. Thanks for the video!

1:13 Michigan Avenue was also US-12 and US-20, then City US-12/20 when US-12 and US-20 were moved to 95th Street and LaGrange/Mannheim Road. P.S.: It's Ogden Avenue, Harlem Avenue, 1st Avenue, not Boulevard (and Des Plaines Street, not Avenue). 3:54 I-55 is built on most of Old 66 here; however, there are a few places the old road still exists. Between Madison Street and Clarendon Hills Road, through the IL-83 interchange, the old road is north of the freeway. This is where one finds Del Rey's Chicken Basket. BTW, this section of I-66 was originally built in 1956 as a US-66 (not I-55) freeway. 4:55 This is where the Mother Road (1926-1940) crosses the Lincoln Highway; we'll meet US-6 (old route) again near the end of this video. At 4:59, that courthouse is now just a pile of rubble, replaced by a new one to the right.

OK 66 in OKC has a pedestrian bridge with the Historic Route 66 sign on it. I've driven on parts of OK west of OKC, mainly Sayre. Farms have to have ways to get around using OK66. There are a few overpasses that I-40 have in that region for the farmers. OK 66 Shamrock, TX is another popular town. One of the Chefs ( I think Master Chef) has a restaurant in Shamrock, right off of Bus 40 / route 66.

Pickle ball is starting to become more popular in Baxter Springs. My wife just played it somewhere around town a couple weeks ago and seemed to have a lot of fun. The roundabout you showed that was requested is in Riverton but then you backed up a few miles east back into Galena. Gelena has Cars on the Route on the historic route that is worth checking out. The reason for all the detour signs around Riverton and Baxter is US 400, a few miles of US 166 and much of Alt US 69/US 69 up through Pittsburg, KS and beyond is getting replaced by a freeway bypass that's currently under construction. A part of it is open east of Baxter, currently 2 way traffic to I-44. It'll be open within a couple months to Alt 69 as a 4 lane freeway from I-44. Kansas DOT is a little unsure of the time frame on completion it seems like though

39:43 it's ironic that you pointed out that I-40 West lists a rest area as a secondary control city .... as I-10 (in both directions) does the same thing for the rest area between Casa Grande and Phoenix. but, at least in I-10's case ... that rest area is the only one on the highway for 230+ miles. the next one westbound on I-10 is around mile marker 87, about 60 miles west of Phoenix ... and eastbound on I-10 is around mile marker 321, about 60 miles east of Tucson (i only know this cuz I have driven the entire length of I-10 in Arizona at some point). I dunno if I-40 has that same excuse. lol

(And the first control city in the state is actually pronounced the way you probably thought it would be: kwaw-paw.)

Couple of things here, we as Okies pronounce things weirdly. Miami in Oklahoma is actually pronounced My-am-uh and Quapaw is pronounced k-w-aw-p-aw, the former of which is the home to Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College where I had fond memories of that college... for one week. That was because in 2016 I went to that college for American Legion Boys State Fun fact about Mickey Mantle: He may had played for the Yankees but he's a native of Commerce, Oklahoma There were 2 attractions not mentioned in the Oklahoma section of Route 66 and I know this because I live in one of the towns that Route 66 goes by: The Rock Cafe is a restaurant in Stroud that has all sorts of references to the original movie, Cars and the restaurant itself was featured in that movie. In my hometown of Chandler, we have the Route 66 Interpretive Center, it used to be an Armory Depot because the solders liked to have a centralized location and Chandler of course being located in between Oklahoma City and Tulsa it made logical sense. A few more things to wrap up the bridge in Wellston that I-44 goes over Route 66 is soon going to be torn down as part of the widening of I-44 to 6 lanes from Oklahoma City to Tulsa and that bridge is historic in a sense that it's over 70 years old. And finally if you plan on covering US-65 at some point, Todd I'm likely going to have numerous exit requests from the South side of Springfield all the way to the north side of Harrison, Arkansas, I know that whole area like the back of my head because I've been visiting the Branson area on and off, but mostly on for 25 years.

You put a lot of work into this one and it's very much appreciated. There's lots of videos on this road but only a few give a grand tour like this. I especially loved the BB/BCS shoutouts, I had no idea hotel and hot dog place were both right on 66! One other thing, Springfield Missouri is not the last time 66 and US 60 meet before LA, they do cross paths one more time in Amarillo. A+ material as always, I'm expecting this to dethrone your I-80 video before too long!
