The Old Route 66 Visitors Center is a much talked about site along Route 66. One reason is artist Bob Waldmire, who turned this old petrol pump into a visitors center in 1992. Bob Waldmire is the son of Ed Waldmire Jr., who founded the famous Cozy Dog in Springfield, IL. 10-06

Here's a night shot of the iconic Canada Mart Gas located off Route 66 in Kingman, AZ. Or if it's not directly on Route 66 it is a block away so let's count it. The gas station is a popular stop as it is located close off the I-10 as you head into downtown Kingman. It is also a pretty fine sight to see like the Eagles said in Take It Easy, though the Eagles were not referring to a gas station. 11-20
