Route 66

Whether you call them vintage or classic, one museum in Illinois is known for having some of the best cars in the nation all at once.

It's one of the most historic Missouri stops on the famous Route 66 that's also one of the more strange things you'll see. It's a bridge that's crooked in the middle that also has a tragic history, too.

You shouldn't drive on Missouri's scariest bridge. For most now, it's impossible anyway. But did you know this span that's known in the state as the most feared features a completely bizarre 30 degree turn in the middle and it was featured in a cult classic movie?

It's too bad that states aren't given more credit when they have great rest stops. If that were true, Missouri would be near the top of the state list as arguably the best rest stop in America is this one in the Show Me State.

Sometimes you just need to get in the car and drive to get away from it all. Well, there are two Missouri highways that were just named the best to take a weekend road trip.

There is a part of Route 66 in Missouri that was a little late to the party. It was one of the last areas that had its road paved, but that was short-lived as it would eventually be abandoned into what is now more or less a ghost town where 20 souls remain.

This adorable town in Illinois was just named the best for a getaway weekend and you have probably never even heard of it.

When I think of Route 66, I think of nostalgic journeys down a historic highway. A recent documentary tells an entirely different story as many could not travel its roads safely especially in Missouri and Illinois.

There are very few restaurants in Missouri that have such a rich backstory like this one. It's a historic roadhouse along legendary Route 66 in Missouri that has served some of the most iconic American personalities over the decades. It also might be very haunted, too.
