A look at Route 66 in the Texas Panhandle in 1984, just before the last active stretch of the Mother Road was about to fade into history. (Two parts separated by a few seconds of black)

I know its all in the past, but I can't help feel sad. You can still travel parts of Route 66, there is about 170 miles left of it. Its called a frontage road now. The motels were more comfortable and Real people owned the service stations and hamburger stands. Now its chain motels like motel 6 and Burger King where the burger tastes just like the one you had a thousand miles ago. I guess good memories just die hard.

I look at kids today who, on long trips, instead of looking out the windows, are staring at THE LION KING. I remember being facinated by abandoned gas stations and such. I really enjoyed this video, thanks for posting. I posted a short interview with michael Wallis, author of ROUTE 66 The Mother Road (SEE: route 66 festival with martin milner). The modern freeways bypass so many cool sites, people today don't seem to care.

They said Mc Lean Tx was the last town to be bypassed. I thought it was Williams Arizona????

The by-passing of McLean, TX and Williams, AZ occured within weeks of each other in 1984. McLean was the last town in Texas to be by-passed by I-40.
