Route 66 - USA

Synopsis

In September 2007, Route 66 stands as a symbol of Middle America, representing decades of opportunity and success. Stretching nearly three thousand kilometers across eight states, this iconic highway has seen better days as time hasn't been kind. Many of its once-popular kitsch attractions have vanished, leaving behind a nostalgic reminder of a simpler era. Biker John Boyd reflects on the road's significance, recalling a time when life moved at a slower pace. However, the rise of the interstate system marks a turning point, leading to the decline of mom and pop diners that once thrived along the route, now replaced by chain establishments.
