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 1932. It
became the Curve Inn in 1945 when Guido Manci bought the business. Later
owners took over in 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.
