[GreenKeys] OT: Happy birthday, Route 66!

[Richard Knoppow]

    I drove with my parents cross-country a couple of times. At least 
part of those trips were on Route 66. Of course, it ended (or started if 
you please) here at Santa Monica Bl and the Coast HWY. A lot of the old 
route is still marked in SoCal. Those who remember Route 66 probably 
also remember the Santa Fe Chief and Super Chief. The ancient advice to 
those coming out to Hollywood was not to buy anything you could not get 
on the Chief. Not many understand that now.
