- Description:
- Hand-drawn postcard depicting a cobblestone Route 66 running through a forest in Lincoln, Illinois. Route 66 was certified in 1926 When the nation adopted a numbered system of cross-country, inter-state roads. Fully paved by 1936, Route 66 became an important -- & legendary-- highway, ""immortalized"" in literature, music, & on television. Gradually ""replaced"" by huge, homogenous ""interstates,"" 66 was decertified in 1985, ceasing to exist ""officially."" But well over 80% of the old road is still driveable -- so, travel back in time, & leave the stress behind -- on the interstates...and then you too will say, ""I still get my kicks, on old Route 66!"" Small is beautiful * Old is beautiful * Slow is beautiful * Safe is beautiful! Publisher: R. Waldmire, Rochester IL Place: Illinois--Lincoln Subjects: Maps; Roads; Streets; United States Highway 66
