Take a nostalgic road trip down Historic Route 66, the 2,448-mile highway that stretched from Chicago to Los Angeles and became known as both “The Main Street of America” and “The Mother Road.” Along the way, discover how Route 66 helped shape roadside America with mom-and-pop stores, service stations, drive-ins and motels, plus some wonderfully quirky attractions. Find out why Phillips 66 got its name, visit Cadillac Ranch and the world’s largest ketchup bottle, and learn how real Route 66 locations helped inspire Pixar’s Cars. Also inside: the story behind the Academy Awards’ famous red carpet, a fun collection of random toy facts, practical advice for parents, seniors and caregivers, plus Social Security, Doctor’s Advice, Veterans Post, Savvy Senior, recipes, comics, puzzles, trivia and plenty more. Cruise through the stories, test your trivia knowledge and enjoy another fun-filled edition of “The Neatest Little Paper Ever Read.”
