That's right, kids. Route 66 used to look like this in Tulsa and even little Tucumcari. You looked up at one neon sign after another. Some like the "Dixie" were unique, the others were familiar names from back home, like Ford.

(These signs are on display at Tulsa's Stokely Event Center, which is not on Rt 66. More info: www.stokelyeventcenter.com)
