"Get Your Kicks on Route 66" as Barbara Barrett takes you on a journey, highlighting the attractions and allure of the “Main Street of America” from its controversial birth in 1926 to its centennial in 2026. Beginning in Chicago, the official start of “The Mother Road,” discover why Route 66 was established while exploring the more than 2,400 miles of towns and mom and pop businesses along the way. Some are familiar names, but others are quirky attractions like the Meramec Caverns in Stanton, MO, the Big Blue Whale in Catoosa, OK, the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, TX, the Rattle Snake Trading Post in Bluewater, NM, and many more along the route to Los Angeles.
