Oct. 21, 2021: Route 66 El Trovatore Motel in Kingman, Arizona. Developer John F. Miller from 1937-40, built the motel, gas station, and cafe. Celebrities staying at the motel included Jeff Chandler, Charles Bronson, Jane Russell, James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Clark Gable, and Don Knotts. Unfortunately, in later years, the motel fell into disrepair.
But about a decade ago, the rundown property was closed and facing foreclosure. Sam and Monica Frisher took over the motel in 2012 and renovated it - twenty rooms became Hollywood-themed rooms. In addition, workers repaired old signs and murals. Painters added new murals. A 206-foot Route 66 map decorates one side of the main motel building.
Route 66 goes through 8 states. The Mother Road starts in Chicago and ends in Santa Monica, California
Apart from the animals and birds, winding jungle routes and 4-wheel drive Gypsies are the integral part of any national park. Waking up early in the chilled morning, completing the formalities, gypsies waiting in a queue, garam chai... and then the bumpy ride on these routes. Simply amazing experience.

Sanders, Arizona.
Well, that's what Google Maps says.
There was a nice color photo of the interior of this diner in one of my Route 66 guidebooks. Typical diner photo showing the counter and stools, menu, memorabilia on the walls.
Only trouble is that the book was published in 2006. From another book, I learned that the Route 66 Diner was no longer open. Since it was near the Sanders Post Office, which I also photographed, it was still an easy drive to check this place out.
Definitely closed. No sign of any activity. Another Route 66 attraction shuttered forever.
Maybe not. According to Google Maps, this place will be re-opening, as described in the title.
I hope so, but, as the saying goes, I'll believe it when I see it...

This old building was constructed in 1910, and sat along Route 66 in the town of Newkirk, New Mexico. The building served as a post office, gas station and a store over the years. But when the freeway bypassed the town, the traffic visiting Newkirk dried up and the building was abandoned. Now Newkirk is a ghost town.
On est parti pour un petit moment sur les routes islandaises ! Le tout en 21mm.

Busy route 49 transferred from London United to Abellio London's Battersea Garage from Saturday 6th September. The route serves areas of inner West and South West London that have traditionally been poorly linked by rail, and although these have improved recently with the arrival of London Overground and a new station at Shepherd's Bush, the presence of Westfield Shopping Centre has ensured that business remains buoyant.
New '64'-registered ADL Enviro400H hybrids were delivered for the route, with most entering service on other Battersea-operated routes during the preceding week in order to identify and iron out any minor niggles. 2480 is seen again on Freiday 26th September, this time negotiating Shepherd's Bush Roundabout en-route to Clapham Junction.

Enviro200s are no strangers to the 62 either, but now that route 62 is to be converted to double-deck (the first ADL Enviro400 MMCs for the route have already entered service) such apareances are destined to become rare. 36283 turns from London Road into Linton Road in Barking Town Centre on Friday 22nd April.
Official date for the conversion is Saturday 30th April, to coincide with the start of a new contract, but as the route is remaining with Stagecoach at Barking Garage the conversion will be phased in as the new buses arrive.
Route 368, which parallels the 62 for much of its length albeit mostly by different roads, is transferring from Go-Ahead to Arriva London (Dagenham depot) from the same date and will also be double-decked using Enviro400s made spare by the loss of route 168. Not bad going for a route which started out with minibuses in 1993. The double-decking of these routes is part of a strategy to provide extra capacity in an area where the population is expected to grow significantly in the next few years.
