1936 Dr. Pepper Bottling Plant920 E. Broadway, Joplin, MOPhone:
Dr. Pepper moved outgrew plant at 815 Broadway in less than 6 years, so they built this one and moved into it in 1936. They were able to expand it enough that the stayed here until the late 1960s. Apparently you could watch the bottling process through the front windows. By 1954 they were also bottling 7Up products here.

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.
