Guest beckyrepp Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Rita, Hi. I'll try to answer both your questions. With regard to question #1--you can do a search when you are at the top of the message page. I just did a search for Washington by typing in the same--and hitting the search button. You'll get the messages with that word in them. Regarding your second question, yes, we (the publishers) started the American Road yahoo group. (We also are people who love to travel the US and wanted to share our experiences!). We couldn't have started the yahoo group without the assistance of Pat and Jennifer Bremer--the group hosts. A BIG THANK YOU to both of them! Hope this answers your questions.

Guest Scott Piotrowski Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I was just in Boston a few months ago for the Preserving Historic Roads Conference. I didn't get a LOT of time to walk around and enjoy it, but it is a pedestrian friendly city, with plenty of history. Make certain that you follow the Freedom Trail. Allow at least a day for it, but you can do it much quicker without really seeing much. Plan on lunch at the market by Fanueil Hall. Plenty of food there. Unfortunately, that's about the only places that I got to enjoy this last trip. You can head to http://www.boston.com/travel/boston/ for more information on that city, though.

Guest Denny Gibson Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Unlike the newest eGroup members and potential subscribers, I joined in the reverse sequence. Even though I've been "connected" for a long time, I equated online groups with twittering juveniles in chat rooms and completely avoided them. I learned of the American Road magazine through other publications and immediately subscribed to what sounded like the magazine I had been waiting for. This was before the first issue was anywhere near the printers. When that first issue arrived, I was surprised to see that it contained some "letters to the editor". How was this possible for a brand new publication? They were "letters" from this very group whose birth preceded that first issue by several months. So I looked into it and decided to join. My view on online groups has changed and I now belong to several (probably too many) of them. I've enjoyed every issue of the magazine and almost every message to this group. I've met some group members and intend to meet more. Maybe not all 1000 but you never know. Kudos to the Repps, the Bremers, and all the other Mock Turtles.

Guest Mike Ward Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 Denny, I remember being asked to provide a letter to the editor for that first issue. American Road certainly fills a need for us inveterate roadies that wasn't around until that first issue, and I offer my thanks to everyone who has anything to do with the magazine. It's a great read. Also, like you, I belong to about 20 other online groups and spend quite a few minutes every day reading the posts. I truly believe it's time well spent. Besides, I'd just be doing something else less worthwhile if I didn't have the posts to read.

Guest Alex Burr Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I agree with Mike - I belong to several road egroups, as well as several having to do with Hudson automobiles. I've made several friends, even gotten to meet one or two in my travels to Memphis every year and I also have learned a lot. I'm a charter subscriber to American Road - tho not usually a magazine subscriber (American Road and Smithsonian being about it - other than the great publication, the White Triangle News, that comes with my Hudson Club membership. Many, many thanks to the staff at American Road - and to the other roadies, especially those with pictures and tales of old 66. While, over 50 years since my good friend and I drove it, things on Rt 66 have changed beyond my memory to recognize I do get a glimmer now and again. Safe and Happy Travels.

Guest Jim Vancura Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 I am new to American Road and joined this list server mostly because of the name. I am affiliated with a National, All American Road, the Volcanic Legacy All American Road in northern California and southern Oregon. Supporters of the VLAAR are very interested in partnerships that result in promotion and enhancement of the many assets that we enjoy in far-northern California and southern Oregon. Has American Road ever considered doing a piece on traveling nationally designated, All American Roads, and specifically the Volcanic Legacy All American Road?

Guest Bill Price Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Matt There is a place in southern Indiana about 30 minutes west off I-65 and the Columbus exit #68,in Brown county,called Story.The Story Inn, serves incredible meals!It's a beautiful drive thru the Brown Hills! Also in Madison,IN on US 421 and the Ohio River there is the Historic Broadway Hotel and their restaurant there is excellent. For more info www.storyinn.com and www.historicbroadwayhotel.com For those in the New Mexico area,in Socorro,NM visit the Val Verde Hotel and the Val Verde Steakhouse(YUMMMY). It was the place to go in New Mexico at the turn of the last century. It was re opened a few years ago and has a marvelous restaurant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Patsy Terrell Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 We recently stayed at the Wigwams in Holbrook and in Rialto. Both were great. I asked before we went about conditions and I can now report both are fine. In Holbrook, some of the original lamps are still in use, which was fun. Everything was clean and nice. We ate at Joe and Angie's for breakfast. If you get a chance to have the apple chimichanga... oh my gosh... don't miss it... it's like a fried apple pie that's 10 times better than any fried apple pie you've ever had. Anyway, I really recommend the Wigwam in Holbrook. I stayed there on my way back, too. And, Holbrook is so close to the Petrified Forest - one of my favorite stops on the whole trip. I love rocks! We also stayed at the Wigwam in Rialto, CA. I know there has been some discussion that the neighborhood was bad. Frankly, I didn't see that. The neighborhood is "urban" but not bad. There's one adult bookstore within a few blocks, but there's one within a few blocks on my house in the little midwestern town I live in and I live in a "good" area - so - there you go. It was "urban" and not bad at all. The Wigwam facility is very, very nice. Each has been freshly painted, the grounds are lovely, the pool is functional although we didn't use it, and the people who are running it are very attentive. We were only there one night but I would have been very happy there for an extended period of time. The rooms also had little fridges, which is a nice touch. I will be putting pix of both up on my website eventually. I just haven't gotten around to it. But I took pix of the grounds and the individual rooms in which I stayed so you can see for yourself. A great use of digital cameras. Patsy http://www.patsyterrell.com for blog, art, cookbook reviews, and more "Bear in mind that you should conduct yourself in life as at a feast."

But impounding cars without due process goes beyond STRICT. This ventures into the area of POLICE STATE. Let's all go back to the U.S. Constitution and remember why the founders thought that separation of powers was a good idea. The Police, who arrest suspects, serve an executive/administrative function. The Courts, who judge the evidence concerning arrested suspects, serve the judicial function. Let's keep it that way!

Yes, the METRA weekend pass is definitely the way to go. Also, the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority now accepts E-ZPASS in addition to their own I-Passes. They became interoperable this past summer. The Chicago Skyway (I-90, toll $2.50) also accepts I-Pass/E-ZPASS, but not the Indiana Toll Road (They're planning on coming on line with that in the next year or so). Whenever I go into downtown Chicago, I'll park at the Cumberland Av park-and-ride ramp along the Kennedy Expressway (I-90), it costs $1.75 for the day, and CTA it downtown. I may be reconsidering that with the Tollway cash toll increase, but even with it, that may still be the best way for me to go, at least on weekdays. BTW, although it is not marked as such (yet), Michigan Av through downtown Chicago is also the routing of the Yellowstone Trail. The Lincoln Highway passes through the south and west suburbs and is a well marked, kewl drive in Illinois. -- ___________________________________________ ____ _______________ Regards, | | ____ | | | | | Michael G.

Guest Alex Burr Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 I remember those little map puzzles in the Saturday Evening Post - and you're right, they weren't easy to figure out. Maybe the reason being people didn't travel around like they do today. Today it's simply toss the kids in the back seat, get the family savings out of the bank, put the luggage wherever and head for that vacation destination. 50, 60 years ago a road trip took the planning of an expedition to Mt. Everest. We used to drive out to the Dayton, Ohio, area to visit friends and relatives back in the late 40's, early 50's. Dad would start planning weeks in advance - talking with long haul truck drivers (not many of those back the, but some) about road conditions, etc; thumbing thru the AAA road guides; taking the car (he even broke down, in 1949, and bought a new car - a 1937 Chrysler Royale 6 cylinder sedan) in for a total checkup. Tho that was many, many years ago I can still remember the excitement of the trip - something new around every turn. Not like today when it's literally the same town after town (of course on the interstate you miss the towns), mile after mile - Mickey D's, Wendy's, BK at every stop. Yeah, I remember those little circles in the SEP. Miss those magazines, Saturday Evening Post, Life, etc, too.

Guest roaddog_rt66 Posted April 1, 2007 Report Share Posted April 1, 2007 Chet, those are some great lyrics that pretty well sum up the whole Route 66 thing, or any old road for that matter. Would you mind if I used it in my 7th grade classes when we study Route 66? I remember meeting you at Tom Teague's Finding 66 seminar back in September 2002. Sure enjoyed our talk at the Globe.

Off in the distance and thru the mist The towers beam the messages no one can resist And along the lazy river where we used to play Sits a gambling boat They?ve built more storage lockers and more motels ?Cause no one is at home any more to ring the dinner bell And the topsoil of dreams is being carried away Flowing downstream CHORUS Ooo, that?s modern progress But, down below the haze The population?s in a daze Ooo,,Ooo, that?s modern progress Oh, but, Lord, when will we ever learn VERSE 2. Out on the hills the rigs nod up and down To squeeze the oil that?s buried below the Texas towns They fuel the mini power plants that drive us to the grave Thru the smoky air And the semis on the interstate slide in and out of lanes Moving dreams to marketplace lit up like circus trains Because someone?s found a way to stuff 10 pounds of scrap Into a two pound bag Repeat CHORUS BRIDGE Out on the desert red lights climb the grade They?re all fighting for the parking spot that has a little shade Everyone?s in a hurry to be leading the parade To the shopping malls, to get the latest upgrade Repeat CHORUS To take it slow, give a little slack Give one another what we want given back When will we ever learn When will we ever Oh, will we ever learn On 1/16/06 9:18 AM, "roaddog_rt66" <roaddog_rt66@yahoo.com> wrote: > Chet, those are some great lyrics that pretty well sum up the whole > Route 66 thing, or any old road for that matter.
