Route 66 Motels are #6 on the National Trust for Historic Preservation list of 11 Most Endangered Places. "Route 66 reflects the 20th century evolution of transportation and tourism in the United States. In its early years, the highway facilitated large-scale settlement of the west, saw the desperate migration of Dust Bowl refugees and World War II troop movements, and played a major role in the advent of car culture and automobile tourism." I stayed in a few of these when I was just a boy on family vacations....can't remember anything about them that seemed worth preserving at the time! How times have changed......both for the me and the motels.
