An old relic of the American road trip is disappearing

The Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Arizona, is one of the few remnants of America's mid-20th century motel boom. In 1939, when John Steinbeck imagined Highway 66 as "the road of flight," he evoked the crushing realities of Depression-era migrants who'd been pushed off their land by failing crops, relentless dust and heartless banks.

More about the reopening of Wrinks Market in Lebanon

KY3 in Springfield, Missouri, recently produced a story about the reopening of the long-closed Wrinks Market along Route 66 in Lebanon, Missouri. The general store closed in 2005 after the death of its founder, Glenn "Wrink" Wrinkle , at age 83. His son, Terry, reopened it for about two years in 2007, but it shuttered again in the midst of the Great Recession.

Make sure you read the Never Quite Lost blog

Thanks to a Route 66er on Facebook, I stumbled onto the Blue Miller's Never Quite Lost weblog, which takes deep historical dives into assorted landmarks on Route 66. Never Quite Lost - subtitled "The Road Goes On Forever" - launched in November 2015. New posts arrive every few months or so, but they almost always are assiduously researched.

A NARROW path leads down to the neat semi-circle of beach. The sea-worn shingle is fine, steep, oddly like the crunching drive to a big house.

How Edgar Wright's journey to 'Baby Driver' started in Philadelphia

"Baby Driver": Edgar Wright - writer / director / executive producer - at 2017 SXSW Festival BBQ and Q&A at Freedmen's in Austin, Texas, on Saturday, March 11, 2017. When Edgar Wright, the British  director of Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz came to look for America, he did it the American way, in a car – driving from New York to Los Angeles, the last few hundred miles on Route 66. He also made his own soundtrack – matching artists from the places he'd be driving.
