Nice mural shows where Route 66 begins and ends.

An interesting tribute to the Mother Road, and a great photo op.

[AM DeHart, 04/21/2020]

Unlike most murals, which have a limited lifespan, this one is baked permanently into tile. Its officially name is, "The American Ribbon." The photo op car is a fake 1964 Corvette.
