GET YOUR KICKS ON ROUTE 66



"it winds from Chicago to LA
more than two thousand miles all the way
get your kicks
on Route 66"

 -- Nelson Riddle, songwriter

However, one man in Arizona took it upon himself many years ago to preserve the history the fabled road and his hard work has proven to not be in vain.

MSNBC ran a feature this morning, check it out.
