Smith's Cafe dates back to the 1930s and what is left of the place is located next to a former motel. Both are on Main Avenue right in the middle of a row of former garages and gas stations. Main Avenue was the 1926 to 1952 alignment of Route 66 in San Jon.

x The lettering on the four piece sign on the post is almost impossible to read, but it's still there.

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.
