Lucille's Famous Route 66 Gas Station

A lonely, smallish building by today's standards. The historical marker mentioned in a previous tip is still there. So interesting to imagine it being a popular, busy place back in its heyday. Plenty of room to park.

Old Route 66 Gas Station

Lucille's was a gas station on Route 66. The outside has been restored and a marker tells the tale of the family that lived there and ran the station for many years.
