Route 66

During the summer of 2011 I took a trip along one of the greatest roads in America, Route 66. Along the way I saw some brilliant sights and took in some of Americas rich history. The road is over 2,400 miles long and construction started in 1926 from Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, California.
For a program id love to hear the sounds of Main Street USA. The Music, The Stories, and just the sound. it is one of my most treasured memories and something id love to share with people, and hear other peoples tales on the famous road.

For example Episode 1 would be:

Starting the series in Chicago, Illinois, where it all began, where once a great fire burnt half the city to the ground, and where Gangsters run the streets. its also a city of Blues, Jazz and Pizza pie. Leaving the "Windy City" and hitting the open road, rows and rows of fields, through Joliet, Dewight. Pontiac, Lexington, Bloomington, Lincoln  and Springfield where the  President of Amercia Abe Lincoln was born, lived and worked, Then 300 miles down the road St Louis. along the way I met Shea a 90 year old man who has been collecting Route 66 memorabilia since the road was constructed from old phone boxes, to road signs.
