Traveling the Mother Road
Route 66 -- it’s also known as The Mother Road and America’s Main Street. The remains of this meandering piece of Americana span three time zones and eight states from Illinois to California.
It was the country’s first east-west highway and a romantic symbol of freedom that spurred our car culture, a TV show, a hit song, books and folklore.
It was also the road to freedom and survival for Depression era migrant workers escaping the Oklahoma Dust Bowl and seeking the Promised Land of California
