It's located in a pond in the east of Catoosa in Okhlahoma. Hugh Davis built the blue whale at the beginning of years 1970 for the birthday of his wife zelta's. Because Zelta's collected the whale figurines.

The whale and its pond were very quickly appropriated by the locals and travelers passing on road 66. As many people came, Mister Davis brought sand and built picnic tables to make it more enjoyable for everyone. In 1988, the site is closed to the public because the Davis family no longer has the means to maintain it. In January 1990 Mister Davis died and his wife died in 2001, the park decays and becomes abandoned. Ten years later the inhabitants of Catoosa decided to restore the site. At the time of today we can go but bathing is forbidden because the water has croup in the pond too long. I choose this subject because I like the history

In this street, there is the oldest house in the world and on of the oldest building in America. She was occupated by a tribe who leave the house in 1435 to go in south search water. In 1598, Don Juan de Onate led a party into the area in search of a place. Onate were Tlaxcalen Idian warrior. The Taxcala's found found the river site met their every need. Theriver provided ample water for the irrigation of the south of the San Miguel Church and an abundance of sweet tasting stream trout (truites) to feed their. Between 1709-1710 this house became temporary residence to Spanish Territorial Governor Chacon Medina Salazar ( the spanish government ). In 1800's, the Barrio ( or the name of the Oldest House by spanish ) spanish soldiers ,Apaches or Navajos were leaving in.

It is famous particularly in France thanks to the movie of the same name turned in this place. In 1995, Andrée Pruett and her husband buy the restaurant then called "Sidewinder Café" and renames it then in "Bagdad Café". The movie is very successful in Europe and especially in France that is why the owner renames the restaurant for attract tourists who want to see the location of the shoot. And it worked because French tourists represent about 70% of the customers. It is thanks to the European tourists that this place still exists today because without them Mrs. Pruett would have already failed. I like this place because each person leaves a trace of his passage here by giving a small memory.

She’s created in 1974 by Chip Lord, Hudson Marquez and Doug Michels.

The sculpture is built on private property and we can see 10 Cadillac from different times planted in the ground who are aligned. You can graph on because men who take care of them, paint them often.

it is interesting to stop there because it's a part of American culture and it’s evolution of the cadillac company in addition to that, this is the opportunity to relax of a long trip.

I chose this place because I like hold cars and the art, so this is the perfect subject.

 Frank Redford built this complex for himself in 1947–49 and not as a franchise. The address of the motel is Rialto, California, but the motel is physically located in San Bernardino. It is on the boundary between the two cities on historic Route 66, with an address of 2728 East Foothill Boulevard, Rialto, California.

 Unlike the one arch of wigwams in other surviving villages, Villagehas a double row of wigwam guest rooms. They total 19 in number, as well as a base for what seems to be another never-completed wigwam in the back of the property. A central building is currently used as an office, with a lobby that is open 24 hours a day. There is also a swimming pool, a large grass front and palm trees surround the property

 During a trip, people tend to be extremely tired because of driving, heat and hunger. So, they tend to stop somewhere to rest. Personally, if I had to stop I would have chosen a motel because the design, the operation is totally different which allows us to change the life of every day. Moreover, in route 66, we have access to 7 motel which is enough.

 In particular, I will have chosen the wigwam motel in California because it is the state I always wanted to visit.

Adrian was bypassed by Interstate 40 in 1969, leading to an abrupt decline in traffic through the village. The café was sold in 1976 to Terry and Peggy Creitz as Peggy's Café; a subsequent owner changed the name to Rachel's. naming it the Adrian Café, in 1990. Her original plan was to establish an antique shop at the site.The Midpoint Café's current name and identity were adopted in 1995 on the advice of travel author and US Route 66 Association founder Tom Snyder. The shop began selling antiques on consignement by 1997. Alongside its "nostalgia food" menu of breakfasts, hamburgers. In2001, the roadside café received a visit from Pixar. This research was the basis for the town of Radiror Spring in 2006 animated film Cars. Fran Houser retired from the café in 2012, retaining the adjacent former filling station for use as Sunflower Station, an antique and sousvenir shop to continue to serve seasonal travellers on US Route 66.
