Route 66 - USA

September 2007For decades, Route 66 was the highway of Middle America -- a pathway to opportunity and success. But time hasn't been kind to the iconic road. Many of its kitsch attractions have long disappearedThe highway runs for nearly three thousand km across eight states. For biker John Boyd, the road is a reminder of "a time when things were slower and simpler". But the birth of the interstate marked the beginning of the end for the Route. The mom and pop diners have been replaced by chain motels. Now, bikers are calling for the remaining attractions; "to be preserved for future generations".Produced by ABC AustraliaDistributed by Journeyman Pictures

"Dickweed." Is that tough guy language?

Josh0718 (January 1, 1970 at 12:59 am)

maybe its because it was filmed by a company in austrailia dickweed. If a company from the US were to go over to Austrailia and film a documentary, do you think we'd use kilometers? no.....and anyways, did you miss the entire point of the fucking short film? or were you too busy lookin for some random little detail to argue on fucking YOUTUBE about XD.

@stephengilstrap It's never late to learn.

U.S. Route 66 (also known as Route 66, U.S. Highway 66, The Main Street of America, The Mother Road and the Will Rogers Highway) was a highway in the U.S. Highway system. One of the original federal routes, US 66 was established on November 11, 1926, though signs did not go up until the following year.[1] It originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before ending at Los Angeles for a total of 2,448 miles (3,940 km).
"(Get Your Kicks On) Route 66", often rendered simply as "Route 66", is a popular song and rhythm and blues standard, composed in 1946 by American songwriter Bobby Troup. It was first recorded in the same year by Nat King Cole, and was subsequently covered by many artists including Chuck Berry in 1961 and The Rolling Stones in 1964. The song's lyrics follow the path of the U.S. Route 66 highway, which used to run a large distance across the US, going from Chicago, Illinois to Los Angeles, California. The title was suggested to Troup by his first wife, Cynthia.
Die Route 66 galt ab 1926, abgesehen vom Lincoln Highway, als eine der ersten durchgehenden Strassenverbindungen zur US-amerikanischen Westkueste. Heute sind die verbliebenen Teilstuecke der einst 2448 Meilen (3939,67 Kilometer) langen Strecke von Chicago (Illinois) nach Los Angeles (Kalifornien), auch Mother Road oder America�s Mainstreet genannt, ein Anziehungspunkt fuer Touristen und Nostalgiker.
