The Curve Inn building is all that's left of Copp's Corner that also included
a grocery store and a Shell gas station. The gas station started out with
those "visible pumps" that let you see just how much gas you
were putting in your tank. . Emilio Copp opened the business in 1942.
New owners took over in 1945, 1972 and again in 2002.
The
sign proclaims the restaurant to be "An Eating & Drinking Establishment
since 1932".

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.
