Travel Route 66 - The Photography of Frank Romeo

Route 66 was a mostly two lane highway that extended from Chicago to Los Angeles, through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before gradually giving up to the modern interstate. Most of the old pavement is still there, and can be followed with the right maps and directions. After initially driving the entire length, I return often for shorter runs, both for the incredible photography and to visit the many friends I have made along the way.

Oklahoma Route 66 - Commerce

Here it is! Mickey Mantle Boulevard in Commerce, Oklahoma, formerly Route 66.
Now that you know, don't be a bonehead and steal one of the signs from this old mining community, show some class and order one from the local Fire Department instead. It's just a $24 donation. (Commerce Fire Dept., Commerce, OK 74339) Log Book: 629 miles motored on old 66.
