Route 66, a legendary highway, started from Chicago, ended at Los Angeles, holds an important position in American history. It is called "the Mother Road" or "American Main Street". Built in 1926, Rt 66 played a significant role in the migration of population to California during the great depression era and the war effort during WWII. By 1985, the last section of Rt 66 was replaced by the new interstate freeway. The section in Arizona, running parallel to I40, is now the longest uninterupted stretch of Rt 66.

bone 回复 悄悄话 回复朱婷的评论:据说Cars本来就叫Route 66,后来因为怕人们会和一个同名的老电视剧混淆才改的名字。
朱婷 回复 悄悄话 那年,迪斯尼的动画片《Cars》中讲到的Route 66 原来是真实的地理地方啊。

《Cars》尽管是动画片,其中的一些景,一些怀旧的乡村音乐很是打动人心的。

谢谢介绍。
