Missouri Route 66 - Joplin


A bucolic, small town entry to ease us out of Missouri, with our best wishes to the people of Joplin. This out of the way small business is Dale's Ole 66 Barber Shop, captured on a summer day during my 2006 trip. I understand that old Dale retired in 2003, and there is a For Rent sign in the image here, so I don't really know who occupies the building today. But on a hot day in June in the old days, there likely was a row of kids inside the shop, waiting for their summertime haircuts. Log Book: 599 miles motored on old 66.
