A futuristic diner in Arcadia with a 66-foot lit-up soda-bottle sculpture out front and 700-plus soda flavors inside — a classic burgers-and-shakes pull-off on Route 66.
A perfectly circular 1898 barn with a glowing wooden loft, lovingly restored, on Route 66 in Arcadia just outside Oklahoma City.
A grinning 21-foot space-cowboy "Muffler Man" towering over a kitschy souvenir shop in Tulsa's Route 66 district — peak Mother Road photo op.
A tiny wedge-shaped 1930s building topped by a giant milk bottle, squeezed onto a traffic island on Classen Boulevard in Oklahoma City — a beloved scrap of Route 66 Americana.
A 77-foot waterfall tucked into a mossy, V-shaped Ozark canyon in the far northeast near West Siloam Springs, with railed overlooks, where parts of "Where the Red Fern Grows" were filmed.
