These are my old stomping grounds, I grew up in that county and drove past all of those buildings in Villa Ridge and Pacific on a daily basis. Sometimes I take for granted the awesome history behind it. It makes me sad when I think of how it used to be back in the day.thanks for the video!

I remember back in the 50s and early 60s often traveling old Route 66 from St Louis to Rolla then south on 63 to visit family in West Plains, Mo. Wonderful memories.

@jeffthisted Месяц назад

I’m glad I could help bring back those memories for you @mikeywid4954 !! What’d you think of the video??

@mikeywid4954 Месяц назад

@@jeffthisted Excellent video and as I said it brought back a flood of fond childhood memories. I'm 74 now and my memory ain't what it used to be but there was a lot of roadside stuff for a kid to gawk at along the "The Mother Road" Oh and let's not forget the Coral Courts (no tell) Motel. Lol

Hi Jeff!! Enjoying your video series so far as you travel The Mother Road. Just wanted to share some information about the Gardenway Motel segment in your video. The abandoned building you videoed was actually the Diamond Inn Motel and Restaurant which was being prepped for demolition at the time of your visit. Unfortunately, the Gardenway Motel just to the west and on the south side or Rt. 66 was torn down in May 2023.

@jeffthisted 9 месяцев назад

Thanks for the correction @williambarnes6011 !! It's too bad they're all getting torn down instead of restored. I went to the Glancy Motel in OK just before it was torn down - it was amazing. Thanks again for watching!!
