Guest Alex Burr Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Jen, Thanks for the reminder - I almost forgot about this one. One of the perks of getting older. LOL Great program with a lot of interesting things to see and remember - I remember stopping at the Clam Box in Ipswich, MA, back in the 1950's!!! Now you know why I almost forgot to watch this tonight. Nice to put a face to a name, Brian.

Guest Denny Gibson Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Got home, checked mail, saw reminder, turned on TV, watched last half of show. Included in the driving I did today were a few miles of US 40 so I hope Brian will forgive me. I did a quick check and it looks like it will be shown on our local PBS station (WCET) at 9:00 on Wednesday. I get a second chance. -----Original Message----- From: Jennifer [mailto:jabremer66@aol.com] Sent: Sunday, July 11, 2004 6:04 PM To: AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com Subject: [AMERICAN_ROAD] Reminder Tonight: Unusual Buildings & Other Roadside Stuff Just a reminder about the program tonight - I'm eagerly counting down the time!!

Guest Shellee Graham Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Hello folks, Getting close to finishing my factoids for the 2006 calendar. Here's one fact I'd like to use if I could get a significant month and day. Since this calendar needs to be completed soon, I need advance dates in advance, if that makes sense. The Pixar website didn't have anything. I did find a yahoo message board about the movie "Cars", but just posts from fans. That was the most I could find so far. Any help is appreciated. DATE?? ------- Pixar Films, makers of Toy Story and Monsters Inc., release the high-octane adventure comedy, "Cars" about a collection of classic automobiles-turned-'toons revving things up on historic Route 66. Paul Newman, George Carlin and Cheech Marin are in the cast. (I could ask Michael, but wondered if anyone else had clues about the film.) Thank you.

Guest laurelrk66@aol.com Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 I just returned from a 4-day road trip I'm calling my "I'm As Corny As Kansas In August" trip, since the idea was to visit as many corny, kitschy roadside attractions in the state of Kansas as possible, while traveling the interstates as little as possible. I did my homework in advance, but was careful not to overplan, since I wanted to be spontaneous about starting and stopping points each day. I had a ball, and I've put up a website for those who would like to read my journal and see some pictures.

Guest brownwho63 Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Just received Volume 2 of American Road and have thoroughly enjoyed as much as I've read. However, page 16, "Rocinante," paragraph 1 appears to include an incorrect statement. It says that the pickup was outiftted with a "respectable V6 engine." I don't recall GM using (or even creating) the V6 until the mid seventies and only remember 2 engine options in 1960-61 for either cars or trucks. One was the in-line Blue Flame 6 cylinder favored by most pickup buyers or the 283 c.i. V8 that was dropped into most Impalas. Did GM actually build a special V6 for this truck?

The Internet Movie Database didn't have it (just the year). I attended one of his talks in Tulsa.

Guest Jennifer Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Hi all, Pat and I are heading to Atlanta this Saturday, and I'm interested in finding out a good route to take. Bearing in mind that we will be leaving early in the morning, and must check into our hotel by 7:00 PM (it's an extended stay hotel and the office closes early). By Interstate only, the trip is approximately 535 miles, or just over 8 hours (65 mph, no stops). So, taking a back road the whole way, averaging 45 or so is not an option due to our time constraints. However, I am planning on leaving early (between 6:30 – 7:00 AM), giving us 4 additional hours; to further enhance our progress and allow us to travel a US route, we will take the Interstate at least to Louisville, but more than likely, through Kentucky and into Tennessee. From there, I'd hope we can take some stretches of US Highway. So, can anyone recommend a nice scenic route between the Tennessee border (off I-65) and Atlanta? Once we are there, we have two days to do some travel, sightseeing and photographing. I have some ideas lined up, but I'm always interested in more. What roadside attractions, oddities, neon signs, diners, motels, etc., etc., etc. can anyone recommend? I have a route planned for one day (but it's at home!) and one place I definitely want to get to is Juliette, Georgia. It was the little railroad town which was used in the filming of the movie "Fried Green Tomatoes." One building used in the film now houses a cafe called The Whistle Stop Cafe (as it was in the movie), and I'm going to take a lot of pictures – it's one of my daughter's favorite movies. Any recommendations would be appreciated! Jennifer Bremer American Road Yahoo Group Co-Host http://www.roadtripmemories.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Larry Kinsey Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 Laurel, Great pictures and story. I just want to tell you that you were in a part of the state that is known as "God's Country". Many of these locations are on the DVD titled "Kansas City to Kanorado - An uncommon view from I-70". Since all of the sites are located off of the Interstate. It says that to see the real beauty, you must venture beyond the margins of the yellow stripes and orange cones of I-70.

Guest Russell S. Rein Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Hey all, I'm back with some Lincoln Highway updates. First thing - the Lincoln Highway Association is considering a plan to encourage members or other individuals to donate concrete LH markers back to the Association so they can be publicly re-erected in a protected area on or near the highway. This would include a large tax deduction for the donation, and the LHA responsibility for transportation and restoration. This is great news even though it's just in the planning stage. Your comments are welcome. LHA member, and recent LHA Chester, WV Conference attendee Mary Ann Michna has an exhibition of her roadside related paintings and photographs, Roadside America, through August 29 at the Coffee Break, 663 Wabash Avenue, Terre Haute, IN. Mary Ann shared some her photographs at the conference and I was very impressed! More articles about the Lincoln Highway Heritage Corridor Roadside Museum from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and Channel 8 TV in Indian- apolis: http://xrl.us/cpi5 http://xrl.us/cpi7 An article from the Chicago Tribune about the Great Platte River Road Archway Monument in Kearney, NE over I-80: http://xrl.us/cpi8 An article from the Lahontan Valley News, NV of the National Park Service Lincoln Highway Study: http://xrl.us/cpja Some ebay news - a real photo postcard of The Inn, Lincoln Way, Caledonia Park, PA by photo- grapher Clyde Laughlin, with a great view of the early dirt LH roadway sells for $80.89 http://xrl.us/cpjf That's all for today, ypsi-slim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
