Eisler Brothers' Store in Riverton, Kansas is an old grocery store along Route 66 and is a priceless bit of nostalgia. Actually, it's my favorite kind of history - living and ongoing.

In addition to the Route 66 gift items, they also have plenty of things you'd expect in a small town grocery store - things like batteries and birthday candles. They have actual groceries, too.


Scott Nelson, nephew of the owners, was running the place and I asked him what percentage of the business comes from locals and what from tourists. He said it was about 60% local and about 40% tourists.

They will make you a sandwich with freshly cut meat and cheese and you can eat on the enclosed porch, looking out onto Rt. 66.

The Cadillac Ranch near Amarillo, Texas, is a Rt. 66 classic.

It's about a 3-4 block walk out into a field to get to the cadillacs, so be prepared. If you want to add to America's great collaborative art project, bring your spray paint, markers, or other art tools of choice with you.
