Introduction

Route 66, commissioned in 1926, was the 2,400-mile 'Mother Road' linking Chicago to Santa Monica, threading eight states and carrying Dust Bowl migrants, road-trippers and the promise of the West. Decommissioned in 1985 when the Interstate system bypassed it, much of its concrete survives as Historic Route 66 — a ribbon of neon motels, diners and ghost towns. Towns like Seligman, Arizona became its cheerleaders, preserving the kitsch and camaraderie of the open road. To drive it today is to travel through 20th-century Americana, where every stop sign tells a story.
