In my opinion, route 66 reminds people of the spontaneity and freedom of the american road trip. The fact that you can tour this massive country literally any time you want to, meet people along the way, and make memories of your travels is something wonderful. And from what I see, everyone seems to love this kind of experience.

This reminds me so much of the first Cars movie tbh

Young people today would know Route 66 from the Cars movie. Older Americans would know it possibly because they travelled parts of it during their childhood. International visitors know it because it's now an icon. I am an Australian who has traveled Route 66, we first traveled part of it btwn LA and Vegas on a holiday to the USA. We then thought this stuff is pretty cool, one day we might come back and do the whole road from Chicago to LA We done that for the first time a few years back and have since spent some more time doing smaller more concentrated trips with the focus on smaller areas... doing it more completely rather then just driving thru and snapping a few pics. The beauty of Route 66 is there is always something new to discover - just when u think u have seen it all u find something else u didnt know was there and its right in front of you... a renovated motel or cafe something that wasn't there last time. I don't even think Americans realised the value of Route 66 until about 30 years ago. When all the small towns once they were bypassed started becoming ghost towns, that's when they realised how valuable the road was to those small towns. When they started putting back the signs and re-establishing the businesses that had died off, that's when it took on a life of its own, and that's when it became an icon.

Route 66 is such an interesting piece of Americana. It’s something so large and unifying in even our Polarised times. Though many countries, including mine (England/Britain/UK) have fascinating things/people/history, we do lack what makes Route 66 so special.

there's a pretty commonly cited paper on Route 66 that found nostalgia is actually not a real reason for why people pursue visiting it. at least, not real nostalgia since most people today would not have it. what it found was typically more a yearning for authenticity and also attachment to the communal (both with family but seeing other people out on the road) idea of road trips.

I actually watched this while driving on I-55 in the Chicago suburbs, which actually follows Historic US 66’s alignment

having been to parts of it... this video puts it in a more positive light than maybe it deserves. the steakhouse being moved closed to 40 is pretty much what you can expect out there: the places that are doing well are either already in larger towns where newer highways happen to connect to, or the businesses are not really on 66 anymore. go to actual 66, in places that aren't near the highway or large towns, and it's a handful of tiny towns, in slow decay prolonged by tourist traps.

I was born in Pennsylvania and currently live California. I am nothing without my car and drive the distance from Illinois to California at least 4 times a year. Some of the most amazing and magical nights of my life happened along Route 66. Meeting people I still keep in contact with and meet up when I’m in town. Since then, I always make it point to spend a little longer in Amarillo. While I mainly keep to I-40 to keep a schedule, I am never disappointed when I drive the old route

This video is so wholesome in ways I didn't expect

I grew up in a small, dying town along 66, near Amarillo. Thank you for making this video 🤘

At 11:28 , a guy talks of backpacking for ten months through “Southeast Asia and Europe”. To illustrate those two, we’re treated to an image of the coliseum in Rome for “Europe”, and for “Southeast Asia”, a picture of beautiful Kinkaku-ji temple, which is a famous tourist site in Kyoto, Japan. Which is a bit like showing the CN Tower in Toronto to illustrate someone talking about backpacking in Mexico. Haha! Apart from that, great video!

It's an important piece of history. Neon signs, diners, drive-ins, motels, roadside attractions, the many streetcars and interurbans that followed it, etc

the music for this doc was legandary. thanks for the great watch guys!

I love the nostalgia of Route 66!

One of the best videos of the last months; it was emotional, historical and fun. Lots of. It makes me more interested about 66. Congrats for the channel and to you all!

Very cool video. I'm a DJ playing music for a birthday party that will celebrate the 66th birthday of three friends of mine, so I decided to download a few Route 66 songs (9 on top of the 6 I already had), and read up on the Route, which the friends are highlighting with decorations. This video helped me understand a tiny bit of the significance of the Route--there was a great quote from a lady who said Route 66 is not just a road going from one place to another (paraphrasing), but a road that runs through peoples' lives, peoples' histories. This video also makes that significant point. Thanks for your work in putting together a historical perspective of America's most famous road.

These videos are so well done, thank you for these amazing experiences!

Phil, Thank you so much for letting us be apart of this video/series! On this series you have been a bit of a time traveling Kerouac. I have enjoyed it very much for sure!

People have been asking me why I chose to do this solo road trip down Route 66. I haven't had much of an answer for them besides, "It seemed like an adventure." In 17 minutes you were able to put into words what has been in my head since the beginning. Thanks for creating such thoughtful and intriguing content! From now on when people ask me why, I am going to respond becasue.

Nice video, it's unique because all the other route 66 vids I see are just random videogames.

Another classic Vox! Please, make more videos like this one.

Thank you for the video! We just spent a few days touring Rte 66 primarily in Arizona and Oklahoma. I think we could easily spend 3 months and it wouldn’t be enough to explore from beginning to end. Other than the route itself the beautiful people we met are amazing, full of stories, history and a sense of pride. We can’t wait to spend more time on the “Mother Road”!

As someone who has lived like than 500FT from the mother road in a small town just located west of OKC, ive never really thought about the sentimental value the road has to The world. My town even has a little roadside attraction, two flour mills one on each side with a large glowing sign reading "Yukons Best Flour" and it litterally is a state landmark. Ive been as far west on 66 as new Mexico visting The Cadillac Ranch, Big Texan Steak House. And as Far east as Uranus to visit the fudge packing plant. There are so many more hidden jems that I havent been to, when I get done with my contract and head home I'll probably drive the Mother Road.

As a foreigner, I might able to explains the reptuation behind it (even though I never visited US before). It kind of represent the culture of America itself. The past culture and the beauty of the country that you don't really see much these days. Some people might feel like travelling back in time to simpler times (i guess) But again, I don't know America too much so take my words as a pinch of salt

Those b-roll photos looked amazing, 100% put that car with a pink sunset as a wallpaper

I only know it from cars

Not much mention of Springfield MO and we still have a Rt 66 festival. So if you have a follow up include Springfield MO

@ 8:12 My hometown and my old boss! What memories!

Fantastic!!! Became a Route 66 lover in 2020! Was my first time, was Magic!

I found about route 66 because of Cars.

What I see: the beauty of Route 66 What 2000s kids see: KACHOW!

I was raised on Rt. 66 between Joplin and Galena, KS, What a growing experience!!! BTW in Galena...On State line rd, its the truck that was used in the "Cars" or trucks movie/cartoon...I MISS HOME!

As mentioned in another comment there was a hit song, "Get Your Kicks on Route 66." This was a hit for Nat King Cole in the late 40s. Nat King Cole later became the first black with a national TV program. The song was also a hit for Chuck Berry, one of the chief founders of Rock and Roll. In the early sixties, there was a TV program that lasted four seasons called Route 66. Two young men traveled around in Corvette sports car. I do not know if this was mentioned. I believe the theme song from this TV show may have been something of a hit too. Popular culture played a big roll in making route 66 famous.
