Route 66 Roadside Decay
February 19, 2023
Traveling Route 66 you’ll see evidence of its faded glory–in physical form. The construction of Interstate 40 made it impossible to travel its entirety; it bypassed some of Route 66’s stops leaving them suspended in a dead road, leaving their roadside stops left to decay. To follow, some of that decay.
Unnamed cafe in unnamed town
Clown scat
Inside the auto body shop
Painted gas station
It’s interior was a smelly dump of refuge
These unexpected stops of abandonment make me wish I had more time. But my itinerary was a packed one. One day I will travel Route 66 with no other destinations, no other constraints.
