The McDonald's in Lebanon has some wonderful murals celebrating Route 66.
I love the post card quality.
It even has mile markers on the route.
But, there's more than just this large mural.
There are also posters that look like vintage post cards.
But, most people going to that McDonald's don't even see the best---the kiddy indoor play room.
The entire room is painted! Note the motorcycle cop behind the billboard.
Including the children's rest rooms.
Around the corner of the "shed" on the left:
At the next rest stop, I couldn't believe my eyes---my first car looked just like this (it wasn't a convertible and wasn't purple)---a 1951 Studebaker!
Arlyn, the owner, took my photo sitting in it---I wish! I'd love to have that car again. . . shh, don't tell my Beetle "Olivia". I told Arlyn that my Studebaker had been green. He said, "Ah, yes, frog spit green." I called my Studebaker "The Roach" because I thought it looked like a cockroach. Studebaker named "Roach" and a Beetle named "Olivia". Sounds like a country-western song.
The owner, Arlyn, is on his way driving Route 66 west. Someday, I hope to get my "kicks on Route 66" although I think it will probably be in a mini-van.
