This edition of Route 66 for Kids — newly updated for 2012, and available on Amazon for the first time ever — is a parent’s guide to the best museums, playgrounds, zoos, amusement parks, ice-cream stands and other kid-friendly attractions that line the shoulders of the Mother Road for 2,448 miles from Chicago to Los Angeles.

Route 66 Pocketbook As seen in Route 66 Magazine, this is full of facts and never before seen photos from Route 66. Sold in 66 Museums, Angel’s Barbershop, Blue Swallow Motel, Meteor Crater and many other trading posts. This is the 8th edition and the first Kindle edition of the little book that has sold thousands of copies over the years. Also known as the World’s Smallest Route 66 Book, this is a fun read with all the basic 66 facts and plus more about the people, places and things on the old road.

I’ve downloaded this ebook and while it’s full of facts and figures about the “Mother Road” it seems a bit hard to follow. However we’ll give it a road test on our “Retro Roadtrip” next month and I’ll be sure to let you know!

 

Route 66 app for Iphone – “Road Trip 66″ contains more than 1,400 roadside attractions, motels, neon signs, restaurants, and museums on the Mother Road. Using a Google Maps base, it helps guide you down the proper path of Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica.

I’m an Android user myself – but if you want details on this be sure to check out the review on Route 66 News that has all the technical details!

Do you have questions about the "Mad Men" set design?

I have been hardly able to contain myself for the last month (I’ve been waiting for the new sets to be finished), but in the next couple of weeks, I will be interviewing one of the wonderful people who design the sets on the series “Mad Men”! (insert hysterical screaming here). If you’re into mid-century style, you surely have drooled all over the sets, wondered where they get their inspiration and wondered how authentic they

Kingman, Arizona: the past and the present collide on Route 66

Immortalized in the anthem penned by Bobby Troup, Kingman in western Arizona is a bit of an enigma. On the map, it appears to be in the middle of nowhere and yet for the adventuresome traveler it is in the middle of everything. It is a stop for travelers on the road to somewhere, and it is one of the most overlooked destinations on legendary Route 66. It is a treasure trove of history and
