And what would drive-in theater's be without at least one on the famed Mother Road, Route 66? There are several, including one that just reopened on Sapulpa, Oklahoma, and, of course, Litchfield, Illinois, but probably the most famous one even carries the name, 66 Drive-In Theatre neat Carthage, Missouri.
Its original neon sign continues to attract road-trippers. (Route 66 is part of the National Trust's National Treasures Program.)
Tickets are often sold out of the original ticket booth, a glowing little building with walls made entirely of glass blocks.
For a complete Route 66 experience ,owner Nathan McDonald recommends staying at the recently restored Boots Court motel (1939) in the nearby town of Carthage, which advertises "A Radio In Every Room)"
