    US Route 66

    Even More Iconic American Things You Don’t See Anymore!

    By Major Dan on June 27, 2022 Cinema & TV, Fashion, Games, June 27, Lists

    A Brief History On June 27, 1985, US Route 66, known as “The Main Street of America,” was officially taken off the list of US highways. Established in 1926, it was the main road from Chicago to Los Angeles (Santa Monica). Spawning a hit song (by Nat “King” Cole) and a hit television series, this route was the American highway, at least until superseded by the Interstate Highway System. It survives (barely) today in pieces as “State Route 66” in some states and as stretches of a “National Scenic Byway.” We previously discussed “10 Iconic American Things You Do Not…

    By Abdul Alhazred on February 14, 2020 Games

    A Brief History Gambling is one of the oldest vices in the world. We probably should not even call it a vice – it is a hobby, and one that is enjoyed by millions of people all over the planet – but for as long as it is existed, there have been as many people opposed to it as there have who’ve partaken in it.

    By Abdul Alhazred on February 9, 2020 Games, Video Games
