  1. Yeah, the Neon was stolen by kids joy riding and they have never been caught. Must be easy to break into and start because the doors were locked and Jane had the keys with her. The car was found abandoned that same night in an alley somewhere on the south side and was pronounced as being a total loss. What upset Jane the most, I think, is that she lost her "Bad Girls Guide to the Road" (or something like that) as a result of the glove box being rummaged through. Kip's PT Cruiser has been stolen from in front of his house twice and had to be completely repainted the first time. He recently had to replace the tranny which could have been a victim of one of the joy rides. He lives on the south side and has to park on the street because he has no garage.....Bliss
  2. Jennifer, I have no personal experience with "the hill" but I'll forward your request for info to Kip, Robert, Carolyn, etc. who can fill you in. I do remember, though, that Jane's last Neon was stolen from in front of a restaurant a couple of years ago while dining on the hill....Bliss
  3. Thanks for the kind words, Pat. We'll try to do just as well with next year's motor tour, as it's the highlight of the 66 year for our association. It was good seeing and visiting with you and all the other roadies. See you on the road....Bliss
  4. Jane sez we have nearly 40 cars registered for the tour, an increase from last year. Nearly 80 folks registered for dinner at Meramec Caverns. Should be an awesome weekend. See you guys there....Bliss
  5. Lots of fun to be had by all cruisin' historic 66 in IL and MO. What's better than that?....Bliss
  6. I, too, loved the old store lunch counters. My favorite was probably those in "dime stores." Favorite order there was a BBQ sandwich with soda. There was a cafeteria in downtown St. Louis named the Black Cat that served awesome roast beef and cherry pie. It was near the old GM manufacturing plant. We ate lunch there each time Mom and Dad drove down from IL to pick up a new car for the dealership owned by my uncle. The Sip 'n Bite in downtown Dwight, IL served sandwiches and ice cream in an old soda fountain atmosphere. Used to walk there with Mom and relish nearly everything they served. It's gone now, of course. Favorite road food when a kid was hot roast beef sandwich with mashed potatoes and gravy. Ate this in many, many mom 'n pop establishments on 66, 36, and 100....Bliss
  7. Just as I suspected: a very ugly game with Indy scoring within the first coupla minutes. Might have been 100 to zip if Manning had stayed in the game. The frosty one is on me whenever we cross paths again....Bliss
  8. I checked my local TV guide for PBS station channel 9 and there is no listing for this 66 program. Perhaps at a later date. Speaking of TV, tonight's Rams/Colts preseason game is blacked out locally because the Dome wasn't sold out by the designated time. And still isn't, even though the Rams are on an "I believe" kick to garner stronger local team support for the new coaches and "new" team. Probably just as well that we local fans can't see the game because it will probably be ugly. But how about a big frosty one on the results anyway, Pat?....Bliss
  9. My initial posting/reply attempt. Question - is there any way to transfer my Bliss Blue Highways album from your former site to this one or, since I created that same album name on this site today, should I just post new photos? ......Bliss
