GET YOUR KICKS

My granddaughter. Ellie, was invited to a birthday party yesterday at a venue meant for kid craziness called Incredible Pizza Company. There is an all-you-can-eat buffet of pizza, tacos, hot dogs, salad and sweets, all cheap but edible.The main attraction is an enormous arcade of every kind of electronic game, plus a mini roller coaster, bumper cars, laser tag and I don't know what else. The kid had a ball.

The entryway celebrates old US Route 66, which went from Chicago to Los Angeles, with STL being a major node on the route. Think of the song Route 66, with best known versions by Chuck Berry and the Rolling Stones. https://youtu.be/tg2EbJy-9dc

This feels very 1956.

This is so cool! As a child living in Michigan we used to drive on Route 66 to Arizona where my grandfather lived! One day (I've already bought a few books on what is and where it is to go) we'll travel along what they've opened up! I bet you all had fun at this birthday party too!
