"The Clinton, Oklahoma, Economic Development Authority last week ultimately accepted a bid to tear down the closed Glancy Motel along Route 66, but not without resistance from a trustee and one resident who both questioned the move."

On This Day in 1934, the first vehicles crossed the brand new bridge spanning the Canadian River in Oklahoma. Today, it’s in the middle of a rebuild to ensure it lasts for another century. #Route66 #OK66

"...stop in and visit with a tourist at Tally’s Cafe or Decopolis or the Route 66 Historical Village and you’ll hear the same thing: this road is truly something special." #Route66

We had a great time at @route66roadfest this past weekend! If you didn't get a chance to attend one of Brennen's events in Tulsa, he has one more coming up in OKC this coming Saturday at the 21c Museum Hotel! https://t.co/oxrsSGPseo

Brennen here. What a great afternoon with loads of like-minded folks who love American road travel. It was a fabulous book signing event and we so appreciated @CultureCzarOK and @MagicCityBooks, the premier bookshop in Tulsa. What awesome folks. It was really amazing to catch up with my buddy @StuckeyStop who presented yesterday about her amazing work renewing her family brand and legacy. It was also special to see @rhysfunk, the Director of the OK66 Association, and so many others. Everyone is doing such an awesome job.
The day was crowned by a talk from my dear dear friend Michael Wallis. His stories are both entertaining and legendary.
@AAA RoadFest did an amazing job setting up this year's event.

Make sure you remember to visit Magic City in Tulsa, Amazon online, or many other great online and retail shops to order a copy of Miles to Go now. My next signing will be at the amazing @21cMuseumHotel Oklahoma City on July 1 so see you there!

The restoration of the neon at Vinita's Hi-Way Cafe is a great story! #OK66

[Saving Places @SavingPlaces]

In 1963, Tom Schwartz opened the Hi-Way Cafe along Oklahoma’s #Route66, where the cafe became a much-beloved stop along this well-traveled route.
