Guest Anthony Poole Posted December 2, 2004 Report Share Posted December 2, 2004 Doug- Just wanted to say thanks for posting those pictures! It just makes me so sad that the Grand View Ship Hotel could not be saved-thanks to people like you, Pop Hicks, the Grand View, and many other places along our early highways, although gone, still remain in the memories and photographs of a bygone period in our American history.

Guest drivewdave@aol.com Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 How To Spot a Geezer sounds kind of off topic (whatever that is...) How To Spot a Roadie might be more like it There might be some congruity between the two like driving ten miles under the speed limit, eating at diners, driving older cars and wearing older clothes. Speaking of diners, Rose's Highway Diner on Highway 99 in Des Moines south of Seattle suffered a disastrous fire last week. The exterior walls remain standing but the interior was gutted. Rose's has been a regional institution since 1939 and known for its fried chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Ken Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Yo Kip, You're right. Nevada did coin that name for it's portion of US 50. Never heard other states use that expression though. That Nevada portion was also the Lincoln Highway corridor. There are many sites to see, including some original pony express stations and the largest "shoe tree" that I've ever seen!

Guest Alex Burr Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Hi All, I just finished a most interesting and wonderful road trip last night - and I didn't even have to leave my house doing it. Of course some will say that the best way to take a road trip is to take a road trip, but if you can't do that, then reading about it is the next best thing - and a great way to spend a couple weeks of cold evenings. I am, of course, refering to Wulf Berg's great book, "U S 50 - Coast to Coast". It is written in such a way that you can spend an evening covering 2 or 3 days at a time. And it is also written in such a way that you feel that you are sitting in the van with them as they trek across U S 50. I have driven, in years past, many of the roads Wulf talks about, I've seen the Kansas 'skyscrapers' he mentions, and I've see the big thunderheads on the high plains. So, this does help with the imagination. You can find a copy of this fine travel book at this web site: http://www.route50.com/ Or if you want to go directly to the order site: http://www.route50.com/us50orde.htm I hope Yahoo!! doesn't delete these URL's - if it does, drop me an email and I'll send them to you. I really think the book is worth the price, which includes shipping. Safe traveling all. Hudsonly, Alex B --- Ken <thelandrunner@yahoo.com> wrote: > Yo Kip, > > You're right.

Guest Mike Gassmann Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 ** With current events as they are, I've been holdng off on the latest eGroup mailing. The World's Largest Catsup Bottle just seems kinda small and insignificant to me these days. So I understand if you're not in the mood, and if this feels a bit inappropriate right now, please accept my apologies. Otherwise, I do want everyone to know that the Catsup Bottle Summerfest is scheduled for Sunday, July 6, 2003. Any media coverage and/or calendar listings would be greatly appreciated. Vendor, volunteer, and sponsorship info is available now, too. Also, we've done an extensive update to the Catsup Bottle web site. We've added some great 2002 & 2003 news items, new photos in the sections of "Catsup Bottle Cousins" (giant Nehi bottle), "Wear Have U Been?" (Spain to Peoria), and "Friends & Family" (Hootie & the Blowfish!?!?!), and photos from last year's Birthday Party. If you have a moment or two and would like (or feel you may need) a pleasant diversion, check it all out at http://www.catsupbottle.com T'anks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul Williams Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Yes, we really enjoyed our trip back to Columbus on the National Road after doing our "Old Roads Midwestern Triangle" of the LH through Ohio and Indiana to Route 66 in Joliet to the National Road east of St. Louis. There is a real pretty restored (new?) covered bridge on an old Natty Road alignment near a town in eastern Illinois whos name escapes me now. I was also very suprised as to how wooded the Natty Road scenery is in western Indiana. Sounds like the new signage will help tracing those old alignments. --- In AMERICAN_ROAD@yahoogroups.com, "Rudyard Welborn" <r.Welborn@w...> wrote: > We stopped at the National Road Welcome Center in Richmond a couple of years > back..they have some good info and a brochure of a driving tour of the > National Road in Eastern Indiana (just off I-70; Exit 156A)...and while you > are at it, if you are cruisin the road west, keep going through > Illinois...the road is very well marked and there is all sorts of things to > see and do and places to eat!

First, I agree with Tim that reading a dissenting opinion if very important. How it is presented is just as important, and this is neither the place nor the means to present it adequately. So I will refrain from political discussion on this forum, except to say that as citizens of the republic in which we live, we owe it to ourselves to consider both sides. Now, slightly bringing this back ON TOPIC, one thing that everyone on this group needs to remember is that although there are a lot of concerns throughout the world and in Iraq in particular, we have a huge concern here within the American borders as well. That concern is the economy. So let's all do our part and get out on the open road and spend our money in LOCAL MOM-AND-POP ESTABLISHMENTS! I once heard that every dollar spent at a local establishment can put SEVEN dollars back into the local economy. With that in mind, I explored some more of Los Angeles County over the weekend. I made my first trip to the Getty Center, ate a late lunch at a local sushi joint, and had a brew at my favorite pub, all on Friday. Saturday had us spending time at Chinatown and Olvera Street. And yesterday I was taking the final photos for my upcoming book, and journeying through a couple of local travel bookstores. And plans are afoot to re-visit the Ridge Route sometime in April. Anyone living in California (or perhaps even Arizona, Washington, or Oregon) who might want to come down and join us let me know via email. Hope to see everyone on the road -- ANY road -- soon!

Guest Alex Burr Posted December 3, 2004 Report Share Posted December 3, 2004 Mike, I don't think it's at inappropriate at all. Yes, we have American fighting men putting their lives on the line, but this doesn't mean that we who remain behind and certainly support them, stop our lives. We have to continue to live our lives each and every day - and one thing that will help is a little fun now and again. When the boys come home, then we can really pull out the stops and give them a welcome to end all welcomes, if we so desire. We have things to do each day, lives to live and family's to raise and take care of - and here's a thought for you. Maybe some of you know the family of a serviceman who is overseas at the moment. Maybe, like this Catchup Bottle Summerfest, you could make a point to invite that wife and kids to come as your guests. We honor our servicemen, and that's great, but little is said or done for those who remain behind - been there, done that.

Guest David G. Clark Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 I apologize for my lack of clarity--and lack of Subject--last night. I was speaking of routes that intersected or shared pavement with 66 at its eastern end--meaning Jackson and Michigan in downtown Chicago. All of the highways I mentioned went through that intersection at some point--except I was wrong about Ilinois State Bond Route 2. The SBI routes that went through Jackson and Michigan in the late 1920s were: 1, 4, 5, 6, 18, 19, 21 and 42. I love the fact that my lack of clarity started a mini-thread about the Lincoln Highway, however. There's a fine new museum in Joliet, the Will County Historical Museum, with a section dedicated to those two highway that crossed there. Unfortunately, they err in saying that Joliet is the ONLY place where the two routes crossed. As Russell has so correctly pointed out, in Plainfield they shared pavement and spent nearly 40 years together, unlike Joliet, where the marriage between the Lincoln Highway and the main line of the Mother Road lasted less than 15 years.

Guest Bakerhab@aol.com Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 The story below was in the Barstow, California, Desert Dispatch today, April 12, 2004. If you want to have a fun group at your event and get a lot of free publicity, invite the ladies from the Red Hat Society Chapters in your area. www.redhatsociety.com Check out the pictures taken by a chapter that traveled to Goffs from Kingman, (The Purple Prose of Kingman) at www.RHS-PurpleProse.com look in their news and photo section for April 3, 2004. These ladies have already committed to be at the Power House Museum in Kingman for the Arizona Fun Run Events, on the first weekend in May. Helen Baker ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 5, 2004 FOR MORE INFORMATION: Sally Walker email: purplesagebrush2000@yahoo.com Photos available at www.RHS-PurpleProse.com Red Hatters go back to School for a Day April showers bring out red and purple flowers at the Goffs Schoolhouse Museum and Cultural Center Saturday, April 3, 2004, more than 100 ladies from Red Hat Society chapters in three states descended on the small town of Goffs, California, for a day of fun and red hat friendship at the Goffs Schoolhouse Museum and Cultural Center. The rain, rather than keeping these ladies from their scheduled tour, brought out a profusion of red and purple parasols to compliment their red hats and purple attire. The ladies were astounded to be met at the schoolhouse doors by docents dressed in red hat regalia, while inside the restored 1914 schoolhouse, they found a veritable treasure trove of luscious desserts accompanied by coffee, and tea served in bone china cups and poured from a collection of vintage tea pots. The flora at the cultural center, still wearing it's winter camouflage, was eclipsed by ladies in purple hats of every shade and style, no two alike. As the ladies walked around the outdoor museum, the center took on the appearance of a field of wildflowers swaying in the breeze. The Red Hatters traveled to Goffs on historic Route 66, in caravans from Las Vegas, Kingman, Lake Havasu, Bullhead City, Barstow and nearly every point in-between. Many of these ladies had never met before that day, but red hat camaraderie soon took over and fast friendships were formed. The ladies viewed the indoor and outdoor displays of East Mojave history with great gusto, splashing through puddles to get a better look at some item that caught their attention. Many even hiked to the top of an artificial mountain that had been built to showcase a mining artifact. The rainy weather didn't stop their planned picnic either, although it took on the appearance of a progressive dinner with red hat groups seated under the cover of various buildings throughout the property, and some wandering from group to group to view the contents of picnic baskets. The tour was arranged and hosted by Helen Baker, a volunteer at the cultural center and a Red Hatter herself. The center is open to the public the first weekend of every month except July, August and September, or by appointment. For more information about the Red Hat Society contact www.redhatsociety.com.

Guest william cashman Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 > [Original Message] > From: sundayjohn66 <sundayjohn66@aol.com> > The height isn't that bad (only > about 15 feet at the highest point) ... just unpleasant if you're > scared of heights, which I happen to be. > The two big guys holding the ladder steady is a good idea! You might also consider rigging some kind of rope harness to help support you while up on the ladder. Any decent arborist can tell you how to do this.... I used my climbing saddle and lanyard when working on a ladder as well as when up in a tree on a climbing rope. Gives you a whole lot more stability that just trying to keep your balance with your legs. It frees up both hands for working and you can hang all kinds of tools on it. I'm sure the finished job will be wonderful....or you wouldn't be up there in the first place! the oakman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jane Zander Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 ARE WE GOING TO BE ABLE TO BUY IT OR WHAT.........FRED I LIKE THE POSTER ITS COOL ----- Original Message ----- From: Shellee Graham To: American Road Egroup Sent: Sunday, April 11, 2004 11:05 PM Subject: [AMERICAN_ROAD] Re: Coral Court documentary stuff > Shellee whats the update on the coral court video are we going to be able to > buy it, or what? Keep us informed. I'd sure like to have a copy of it. Fred Hey Fred, The documentary "Built for Speed: The Coral Court Motel," is nearly finished. The project took longer than expected for different reasons/setbacks. The past few months, my partner Bill Boll has been piecing the segments together into reels that make sense, working music into it, and finally we have to make sure we get the thank yous and credits right. Last month, we filmed parts of the world premier of the play "Kid Peculiar at the Coral Court Motel" at Washington University. And yesterday, we interviewed an older, local newscaster about St. Louis gangs, the Greenlease (kidnapping/murder) case from 1953. Now we must finalize the images, music, etc and tie up loose ends. I have also been working on the movie POSTER for the documentary. Maybe I can post it to the yahoo site? Minutes later... hey, I just posted my first photo to the American Road Yahoo Group site. Not sure how you can find it, but I tried to copy and paste the URL. It's very long... http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/ameri...lee+Graham% 27s+stuff&.src=gr&.dnm=CCM+Doc.+Movie+Poster+IDEA.jpg&.view=t&.done=http%3a/ /photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/american_road/lst%3f%26.dir=/Shellee%2bGraham %2527s%2bstuff%26.src=gr%26.view=t At first, I liked the poster. Now, I'm just not crazy about it. Now, if that professional graphic designer from Hollywood would just look it over and make a few adjustments. Constructive feedback is appreciated. Thankya.

Guest roadmaven@aol.com Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Evening folks! I received the following message via my website from a gal looking for some info on an "Armadillo Village". Anyone ever heard of this?? Pat in Speedway http://theroadmaven.com Date: 4/24/2003 10:51:16 AM Eastern Standard Time From: Trudy Lundgren <tllw@earthlink.net> To: <roadmaven@aol.com> -- Dear Friends: My name is Lisa. I am from Pittsburg, KS originally. I know live in NYC, but am in the process of selling my apartment to go fulltime on the road RVing. Back in the 60's, on a roadtrip with my family, we stopped at an attraction while travelling through Texas called "Armadillo Village". My dad thinks it was on Route 66, but is not sure. Do you recall this place? I remember it having been basically a gift shop with a pen out back with Armadillos in it. I would love to find out where it was exactly and to know if it still exists. Please contact me at: tllw@earthlink.net Thank you very much... Sincerely, Lisa Wade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alex Burr Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Hi Rob, 2 correct answers so far. I just did this to maybe start something - get more people to come up with trivia questions that will expand our knowledge (??) of the way it used to be, in a manner of speaking. I also thought the movies was excellent - Tom Hanks did a fantastic job. And you are correct in capturing the essence of northern Illinois, tho I'm more familiar with the central part - I have friends in Decatur. But, what really attracted my attention was the 'look' of the area - I've seen photos taken in the 20's and 30's of the highways of that era - clear, uncluttered and open land as the movie portrayed. Anyway, you don't win anything tangible - must an Golden Eagle Eye award - LOL. And a pat on the back for being observant. Have a good weekend.
