Guest Debra Hodkin Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 There will be a formal announcement and press release coming from the SBC&VB next week but I wanted to share with all of you this important information. Mr. Michael Wallis will be the joining the following group as the 2005 Cruisin' Hall of Fame Inductee in the Entertainer/Media category; Bobby Troup 1995 National Hot Rod Assoc. 1996 Hot Rod Magazine 1997 American Graffiti Movie 1998 Jan & Dean 1999 The Beach Boys 2000 Route 66 TV series 2001 Street Rodder 2002 Route 66 Magazine 2003 Hemmings Motor News 2004 And now Michael Wallis 2005 Michael will add some creditability and class to an already rich and deserving group. Please join us in San Bernardino in September 2005 to honor our friend and Road Warrior. This award ceremony is held on Saturday morning at the Rendezvous and will not conflict with any other event that we have planned. There is one little draw back and that is that this is an invitation only event. I will be getting as many tickets as possible and we will be holding drawings and lotteries for them. Each inductee is allowed tickets for their family and/or business associates, all of you are a part of Michael's family and we will do our best to accommodate as many of you as possible. Some of you that were at this past years Rendezvous were guests at this event and know that tickets were hard to come by. Being that there is no charge and tickets are not sold makes this an even more important event and tickets hard to get. My first few years working at the Rendezvous I was not invited and until I had proven myself and earned the right did I get a ticket. Jo Ann Webb and Steve Henthorn of the SBC&VB are responsible for making this happen and deserve our thanks for supporting Route 66. They and the rest of the staff, board of directors and volunteers that make the Rendezvous the success it is are looking forward to meeting each and everyone of you in 2005. The Organizing Committee, which is my honor and pleasure to chair, are busy working on making your time in Southern California in 2005 an event of a lifetime. So mark your calendars and make your plans to be at the Rendezvous and Federations Event in September 2005.

Guest big_ugly_mich@yahoo.com Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Loathe as I am to admit this, as a Mac user who feels abandoned by the powers that be, but WordPerfect is a considerably better program for the following reasons: Print bar codes on mass mailings to make them more efficient (which you'll probably use to death in your line of work) Print formulas more legibly (you may only use this once or twice, but you'll be glad you have it when you need it). If you print a document that has a few lines on another page, you can go into the menu and click on the "Make-It-Fit" expert and shrink it down to save a sheet of paper. If you print a lot of documents, this can be the greatest thing since the Commodore 64. It also happens to be considerably cheaper than Microsoft, but that's not a huge concern for any of us. --- In AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com, "Jim Conkle" <jim@c...> wrote: > I have looked at ordering Microsoft Windows XP Pro ad Office XP Pro.

Guest Mike Ward Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 I'll add another stretch of road to the list. U.S. Highway 191, formerly known as U.S. Highway 666, between Clifton and Alpine, Arizona. It's almost 90 miles of mountain curves. The posted speed limit rarely gets above 30 mph for the entire stretch.

Old 66 there has 23 hairpin curves in a little more than two miles. Emily and I elected to hike it instead of driving it. It was a bit tiring in 95- degree heat, but it offers hellacious views.

Guest jenniferrt66 Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 Just got back from a long weekend trip to Amarillo (though we actually made it as far as Adrian, Texas) on Route 66. This is an interesting thread Pat inadvertently started with his comment about my new Toyota (it's not a truck though - it's a 2004 Corolla LE). LOL Ron, however was correct about my Neon (I had mentioned that in passing in a post about a week ago). 1995 - 1999 Plymouth and Dodge Neons has a bad design of the head gasket and after a Google search we discovered that there are alot of disgruntled owners out there; most of whom probably would have felt better about the issue if Chrysler had admitted the problem, did right by their customers and fixed it! We read there's even a class action lawsuit involving the issue. My car had a leaky head gasket, but I decided not to have it repaired...the new head gasket might have fixed it; but even if it did, with my luck, the transmission would have then gone out! So we researched cars for a week and whittled our choices down to the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic - the cars were so close in almost all aspects (safety ratings, resale value, price, reliability, fuel economy, features, etc.) and I'm sure I would have been happy with either car. It was so close, and I can't say anything bad about the Civic at all...but the deciding factors for me were the bigger engine in the Toyota, as well as the longer powertrain warranty. I never had a foreign car before this; I had a Plymouth, two Ford Escorts, and then my Neon. I liked the Neon, unfortunately it was destined to fail! We did not take the new car on the trip - I wasn't prepared to burn up 5% of the warranty mileage in 4 days! Got a great deal on the new car though - $500 below invoice!

Guest Bakerhab@aol.com Posted April 2, 2004 Report Share Posted April 2, 2004 What's the saying about publicity? Something like, it doesn't matter if it's good or bad, as long as your name is spelled right? Interesting article. Helen Baker Wednesday, February 4, 2004 Goffs struggles to cope with visitors By KELLY DONOVAN/Staff Writer Promoters of the Goffs Cultural Center say they have almost been too successful in their efforts to attract guests. Visitors have been flocking to monthly open houses at the remote east Mojave cultural center in such great numbers that there haven't been enough volunteers to handle them all, the open house coordinator said. The cultural center, about two hours east of Barstow, is a 70-acre property with artifacts and historical displays in more than a dozen buildings, one of which is a historic schoolhouse. More than 600 people visited the center last year, mostly during the open houses, said Helen Baker, a San Fernando Valley resident who organizes the open houses as a volunteer for the nonprofit Mojave Desert Heritage & Cultural Association. Although the center had open houses prior to last year, it didn't have a regular schedule for them, and didn't publicize them much. The center normally had about 100 visitors a year. Then, in 2003, the center adopted the regular schedule for open houses, got publicity from media outlets and more people started pouring in. "It's just been a win-win except that we've got so many people coming that we need more volunteers," she said. "There's all kinds of people who come to Goffs -- people interested in history, people interested in four-wheeling, people interested in touring the desert." Goffs had open houses the first weekend of every month last year except in July, August and September, when it's too hot, Baker said. Its 2004 open houses are on the same schedule. Last year's visitors were a mix of out-of-state tourists and California residents, many of them were stopping off on their way to or from Laughlin, Nev., Baker said. To volunteer for an open house weekend, or for more information, call Jo Ann Casebier at 733-4482 or Helen Baker at (818) 705-3930. Information is also online at www.mdhca.org. The center is in Goffs at 37198 Lanfair Road, just off National Old Trails Road. Staff Writer Kelly Donovan can be reached at kelly_donovan@link.freedom.com or 256-4122.

Guest dwillman66@comcast.net Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Hello from bizjournals.com! DAVID WILLMAN (dwillman66@comcast.net) thought you might like the following article from New Mexico Business Weekly: The sender's comment about the article: Thought this was interesting topic for the group. Does anyone have a list of how many markers there are per the lower 48 states? Also, how many are dedicated to trails/roads/highway? I am usually one of those that stops any chance I get when I see them. Some of my favorite include: Santa Fe Trail in Cimarron New Mexico (US 64), The Georgetown Loop Railroad in Georgetown Colorado, (old US 6 area) Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs, CO (old US 85 area) Since I have been lurking again and not participating too much, Would love to see some discussion on this topic and where I could be directed to find out more. Might be a great topic for Jim, Thomas, and Becky to pursue for the next publication. Take Care All, 66 Willy Dave Willman Signmaker chronicles New Mexico's historical markers NMBW Staff Published: February 4, 2004 ------------------------------------------------------------ Mountainair businessman Phil Archuletta and writer/photographer Sharyl Stockstill will sign copies of their new book chronicling state historical markers Thursday at the State Capitol Building Rotunda. The book, "Traveling New Mexico, a Guide to the Historical and State Park Markers," details the historical facts presented on the more than 500 historical markers around the state. The guide gives the locations of the markers and additional information for each. Archuletta's Mountainair highway sign company, P&M Signs, is in the process of replacing all the markers in the state, which highlight sites like dinosaur tracks, early settlements and the exploits of Billy the Kid. Founded in 1991, P&M Signs employs 20, and manufactures many of the wood, plastic and metal roadside signs seen in the Southwest. "Traveling New Mexico" was published by Santa Fe-based Sunstone Press. Archuletta and Stockstill will sign copies of the book at the Roundhouse from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday.

The bad news is that it's definitely been bought and will be razed. The new structure on the property will be a "travel center", according to the owner, which I presume means truck stop/gas station complex. The owner said that he grew up spending time at Buffalo Ranch and considers it a bit of nostalgia for himself as well as others, so he'll be keeping the "feel" of the place, calling it Buffalo Ranch, and (would you believe) even bringing back a herd of buffalos for tourists to see! And, this is the VERY good news (for me, at least).... I asked him what was going to happen to the old signs on the property, and he asked if I wanted them! I said "YES, OF COURSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!", with my heart racing in my chest. "Fine", he said. "They're yours, if you'll display them in your gas station, and if you can haul them away". Oh my gosh!!! The signs are mine! He said he wants to keep some of the signs to put up in the new building, but I can have the rest. There are some others hidden away in one of the buildings I can have as well, he said. It was too rainy and muddy (and still partially dark) this morning to go into the building, but I'll go back on Monday, at his suggestion, to explore what's available. I can't begin to tell you how excited I am about this. The signs will remain -- if not on the original buildings -- at least in the same town! I'm thinking now about devoting a good part of Afton Station to Buffalo Ranch and all the goodies I've collected from it. So, although it seems we can't always completely stop the wheels of progress, I guess we can slow them a little, and, if nothing else, we can do our best to preserve the nostalgia. I'm tryin'!

Guest Ken Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Greetings All! While exploring an old abandoned Katy Railroad line the other day, and I came across a vintage porcelain steel sign mostly buried under the dirt. After unearthing the heavy beast I discovered it was a 4 foot "United States Tire Company" sign. I've searched the internet hopelessly for info on that company. Cannot find a single bit of history except two folks selling a magazine ad for that company from magazines dating in 1914 and 1917. (At least the company was a fairly old one!) That company also used the name "U.S. Tire Co.". Does anyone here know what years this tire company existed? Let me know. Thanks!

Guest Chris Posted April 3, 2004 Report Share Posted April 3, 2004 Veterans Stadium implosion scheduled for March Veterans Stadium, Philadelphia's home for sports entertainment from 1971 through 2003, will be imploded at 7 a.m. on Sunday, March 21, the City of Philadelphia and the Phillies announced today. It will take approximately 58 seconds to implode the building. During the past few months, work has been underway with the conventional demolition of Veterans Stadium. Much has been removed from the Vet including concrete ramps, the podium level, lower seating bowl, lights, roofing and the Liberty Bell. By the time March 21 comes around, the Vet will have been reduced to a virtual concrete skeleton. http://makeashorterlink.com/?Z18F25C97 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lulupic66@aol.com Posted April 4, 2004 Report Share Posted April 4, 2004 Here is a copy of an article that I found the other day, From the AP Atlanta, Clark Byers, who painted Southern barns with "See Rock City" slogan that was perhaps better known than the attraction itself, died Thursday after months of failing health, friends said. He was 89. For three decades beginning in 1937, Byers braved slippery roofs and even a charging bull to paint some 900 barns in 19 states, mainly in the rural south. Using black paint that he said was virtually fade-free, he painted the barns for free for willing farmers, throwing in Rock City souvenirs as a bonus. The slogans, including "See Rock City" and "To miss Rock City would be a pity" promoted a collections of buildings atop of Lookout Mountain in Chattanooga, Tenn., that were constructed form the mountain's stone. "Clark, literally and figuratively, enhanced the landscape of America," said Bill Chapin, president of See Rock City INC. and the great nephew of the attraction's founder, Garnet Carter This was dated 2/21/04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hank Hallmark Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 I need the assistance of you "roadies" out there. I have a friend, George Tillitson, who lives in Wrightwood, California [where I reside also] who is historian for the Wrightwood Historical Society. He is doing an article about US Hwy 138 and it's junction [the Cajon pass area] with Route 66 circa 1960s. He is specifically interested in any information anyone might have about a restaurant named Quigley's which was located at the Y formed by Rte 66 and Hwy 138. Apparently, it was in the right-of-way and was torn down when the interstate was built. If you have any information please contact him at e-mail Address(es): tiltronix@snowline.net POB 974 965 Snowbird Rd Wrightwood Ca 92397 Phone: 760-249-6622 Mobile: 760-835-7902 Thank you all for your assistance.

Guest Larry Kinsey Posted April 5, 2004 Report Share Posted April 5, 2004 For the last several weeks I have been checking my mail box, and last evening when I got my mail, I had received my first issue of the American Road magazine. I just want to say how great it is and I spent last night starting from the first page to read toward the last page. I like what I have been reading. Great job Thomas, Rebecca, Jim and everyone.
