- Description:
- Postcard showing sketch of round barn and scissortailed flycatchers in Arcadia OK. Back of card: 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 homogeneous """"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 - Safe is beautiful Publisher: R. Waldmire, Rochester IL Place: Oklahoma--Arcadia Subjects: Advertising; Agriculture; Maps; Roads; United States Highway 66
