enamored by both gospel music and the

America's "Mother Road",
Route 66
Easily the best-known highway in the world.
November 11, 2009
People have traversed it religiously from
Chicago to Santa Monica and vice-versa.
"Pier to Pier", as they tell it, referring to
Chicago's Navy Pier and the Santa Monica
Pier as its two terminal points. But it's
never really been "Pier to Pier". Not
officially, anyway. That is, not until now.
In a ceremony which included classic
cars, live and recorded renditions of
Troup's unforgettable tune, and legions
of dedicated fans of the famous "Main
Street of America", the Santa Monica
Pier was given the very official title of
"The End of Route 66" by The Route 66
Alliance.
A replica of the long-lost "End of the
Trail" sign was unveiled to solidify the
marked terminus.
