Nostalgia

On US Route 66 in Williams AZ, a cafe that calls to mind the popular rhythm and blues song composed in 1946 by (African-)American songwriter Bobby Troup, following a cross-country drive with his wife from Chicago to Los Angeles. Covered by many singers, most famously Nat King Cole. Also an American adventure crime drama television series that ran from October 7, 1960 until March 20, 1964, following two young white men in a convertible on the same route. The show had a different theme song— by Nelson Riddle—because the TV producers did not want to pay royalties to Troup.

The statue of Elvis posted earlier stands in the courtyard of the restaurant.

Happy Mono Monday!
