Viewing a video online works best if you have the most recent "player" software in your computer. Our videos look best if you are using the new Windows Media Player, version 11.
To watch a video program, click on the icon to the left of the program's description. You will be taken to a viewer screen that will automatically begin playback after a few seconds of "buffering" time. On videos that are not ours, you may need to click on the play arrow.
If the program is slow to load, or is jerky and pauses often, then you have a slow connection speed and may have to wait a few minutes for the video to load completely before it will play properly. After watching, click "Back" to return to our web site.
Thanks.

This video is not one of ours, but is very good.
KNME-TV in Albuquerque a couple years ago produced “Route 66: The Neon Road,” a 25-minute video about New Mexico’s neon-sign restoration program for Route 66 businesses. The video won an Emmy.
We'll take you to the 66 Drive-in movie...once a drive-in, then a salvage yard, the 66 drive-in has been fully restored complete with the original ticket booth and neon lighting. We'll tour the headquarters of the "Precious Moments Chapel" near Carthage, and in Joplin we'll visit "Tri-State Trucking", one of the first to utilize Route 66. We also report on the "Solar Car Challange" that followed the mother road in ultra hi-tech solar powered cars. We'll visit the garage apartment that Bonnie and Clyde used as a hideout until their discovery resulted in a shoot-out with police. At the Joplin museum we'll show you what Bonnie left behind. Plus...2 RV Parks are featured.(Our video program).
In Galena, Ks. we'll show you one of the original stretches of Route 66 that remains unmodified to this day. In Riverton, Ks. we'll visit the Eisler Brothers general store that first opened it's doors before 66 was designated, and remains in operation today. (The manager will also sing "Get your kicks on Route 66" for our camera!) A few miles away, the last cement Marsh Arch Bridge has been preserved, and we'll interview the "caretaker". We also report on 2 more RV parks where you can stay while visiting the area. (Our video program).
Coming Soon: Route 66 TV ONLINE takes a road trip to the Lake of the Ozarks for a report on where Route Travelers can spend a mini-vacation just a one hour drive north of 66 from Lebanon. In Lebanon, we'll show you the winner of the National Route 66 Business of the Year Award, the Munger Moss Motel. We also tour this "Route-Friendly" community and report on local attractions and the Route 66 Museum in the local Library. Toss in some interviews, including the "Roadie" with dozens of tattoos featuring Route 66 landmarks and this will be a must-see program.
