the 90-mile still-intact stretch of Route
66 from Seligman to Kingman, Ariz., a
historic highway. Today, Seligman lays
claim as the " birthplace of Historic
Route 66, " signifying the road's
transition from a national artery to a
historic journey.
A ROAD COMES OF AGE
Today, a trip down Route 66 is less
about reaching a destination than
enjoying the experiences along the
way. In Springfield, Ill., savor a crunchy
corn dog on a stick at the birthplace of
this deep-fried treat: the Cozy Dog. In
Holbrook, Ariz., spend the night nestled

The allure of this highway was further
heightened by the " Route 66 " TV

your kicks " to remnants of a road with a
giant " kick me " sign on its back. The
towns along its way-and commerce in
them-suffered.
But Americans love a comeback
story, and Route 66's began in
Seligman, Ariz. When the town was
bypassed in 1978 by Interstate 40, local
business owners refused to throw in the

service station. Afterward, stop for a
photo op across the street in front of
the fluorescent green 1929 Allen's
Conoco Fillin' Station, which was built
right into the brick wall of the adjacent
building. It now houses a gift shop.
