Part of a sign and a dusty parking lot are all that's left of the famous Coliseum Ballroom after it burned to the ground on July 30, 2011. The site is on the south side of town, this 1924 icon operated for years and later as an antique mall.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more

Did You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
