The "Old Route 66 Truck & Auto Service" is one of the few abandoned businesses on Main Avenue in San Jon that has any kind of identifying signage left. Main Avenue through town was Route 66 from 1926 to 1982, that represents 56 years of opportunity and hard work that went out the window the day that I-40 opened and claimed the Route 66 name a few blocks to the north.

x 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
xDid 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.
