Route 66 Advertiser Moves to her new home

We’ve moved into the old 1910 US filling Station on Daugherty Street in Webb City, MO, across from the US Post Office (built in 1915). The Trolley Street Car tracks are gone, but historical buildings and culture abound in Webb City, and of course Route 66 on Broadway. The inside decorating has just begun, and there’s a long way to go on the exterior restoration.

I ’d like to recognize all the great publications and persons behind them that have brought the Historic Mother Road to her present popularity. Books, videos, tour guides, maps, state and local tourism guides, Route 66 Associations of state and national level and abroad publications and organizations as well.

My first few years of traveling the Route and trying to document and learn as much as I could, found me toting my satchels of Route 66 videos, guidebooks and maps with me on all my trips. This I did so I wouldn’t miss a thing. It also helped to share knowledge with other travelers I would run into and exchange sites that they visited on their journeys. It never hurts having the pictures of icon places, proprietors, writers and artists with you when you run in to them for autographs as well.

I subscribed to the Route 66 Magazine, published by Paul & Sandi Taylor, and had the pleasure of running into them on my first couple of road trips. I mentioned previously how essential it is to carry the “Here It is” Map Series with you. Thanks to Jim Ross and Jerry McClanahan for that. More recently we learned of the Route 66 Pulse on our mission trip (last January) for the Route 66 Advertiser. The Pulse is published by Jay Bernhardt and Assoc. Publisher Jason Bernhardt. They have a phenomenal staff and support group that will surely keep you as well as all interested in what’s going down on the Route. With all this said, subscribe to a few today, learn what interests you and maybe you’ll join some organizations as well or contribute in you own way. There’s plenty of road out there for all to enjoy. Join a group and find some unity with the Mother Road and all the mentors and proprietors, large and small, that have helped form the most historic highway in the world.

As for us at the Route 66 Advertiser, we look forward to more contributions of news, editorial, stories, and photos of the old road that you or a loved one experienced recently or in years gone by. We like it to be known as well that we offer free promotional commentary news etc. for nonprofit groups and organizations. Accordingly featured is each of the Route 66 State Associations in this guide, and more recently news from the National Parks Service & Route 66 Corridor Preservation Program. “Reuniting the Children of the Mother Road” is our mission and we encourage you to subscribe to our paper or just pick it up free all along the Route and patronize the small Ma & Pa places that you’ll find in the guide.
