Route 66: Journey Through IsaiahDaily Bible Reading PlanPack your Bible and join the adventure! Travel through one of Scripture's most inspiring books with daily readings, SOAP prompts, and a church-wide journey through Isaiah.

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to put your trust in what you can see? We often look to people, circumstances, money, or our own abilities for security because they feel tangible and dependable. But are they really? Today we'll continue our Route 66 series as we journey through the book of Isaiah. Isaiah repeatedly warns God's people not to place their confidence in other people, nations, or earthly powers, but to trust the Lord completely. The sermon today will challenge us to examine where our trust truly lies and remind us that the destination of our lives is shaped by the vehicle we choose to ride in. Come make sure you're sitting in the right vehicle to get you to the best destination.

Before Route 66 became an American road-trip icon, Michigan motorists were already following another ambitious highway south.In this episode of End of the Road in Michigan, we trace the history of the Dixie Highway, a sprawling early automobile route that linked Michigan with Florida beginning in 1915. Its eastern and western divisions crossed the Lower Peninsula, passed through communities such as Detroit, Waterford and Mackinaw City, and helped usher in a new era of tourism, roadside businesses and long-distance driving.We look at Carl G. Fisher's role in promoting the route, Michigan's push to become part of the system, the rough conditions early motorists faced, and the stone monument that once marked the highway at Mackinaw City.We also explain how the Dixie Highway predated Route 66 by more than a decade and how much of its route was later absorbed into numbered highways such as U.S. 31. Historic maps, postcards and photographs reveal a time when a “highway” could still mean dirt, gravel and uncertainty.This is the story of the road that pointed south — from the Great Lakes toward Miami — and helped change how Americans traveled. Follow End of the Road in Michigan for more stories from Michigan's past.The End of the Road in Michigan is a production of Thumbwind Publications

Is the multi-brand arms race really about guests, or is it just an elaborate play for developers and distribution?  Edwin makes the case that independent hotels have a competitive advantage no loyalty algorithm can replicate. Scott drops the hottest take of the episode: loyalty points have become hush money for operational failures. And Ben shares a story about a boutique hotel that turned a jackhammer nightmare into a lifelong brand loyalist — no points required. Then the World Cup post-mortem. Bank of America's final numbers are in — $20 billion pumped into the U.S. economy, RevPAR up 90% in Kansas City, 55% in San Francisco. Miami crushed it. But three separate properties reached out to Scott after the final whistle with the same question: now what? No social strategy. No post-event plan. No follow-through. The panel unpacks what hotels actually got right, what they blew, and why this should be a wake-up call for independent operators ahead of the 2028 Olympics. And to close it out — a game. It's Route 66's 100th anniversary, and CoStar toured the surviving motels still operating along the highway. The panel plays Keep, Kill, or Reimagine across six properties. Clark Gable's old room, a freshly rehabbed motor court with a paint can still in the bathtub, and a pink-walled Santa Monica hotel sitting on land worth more than the building. Scott wants to build a diner on everything. Edwin wants to preserve the soul. Ben's doing the math. — This Week in Hospitality is presented to you by Journey. Journey is a loyalty platform built specifically for independent boutique hotels and high-touch hospitality brands. Our mission is to give operators the same powerful rewards engine, data intelligence, and guest insights that major chains rely on — without asking them to give up the individuality, soul, or story that makes their property extraordinary.

Last night's journey through America's greatest lost attractions sparked one of the best audience conversations we've had in a long time, so tonight we're taking the next exit. Joined by J Gulinello (HealthReclamationProject.com), we explore the legend of Route 66, the rise and decline of the Great American Road Trip, and what made America's back roads so unforgettable.

In Podcast #382, John Davis and the MotorWeek crew talk trucks, trips, & a Telluride look-alike! Brian starts things off with a first drive in the 2nd-gen Kia Seltos, which sports a brand new look and powertrain for 2027. Then Greg celebrated 100 years of Route 66 by taking his young family on a 1,500 mile road trip and he regales us about his travels on “The Mother Road”. Finally, Jessica had a recent opportunity to ride in the all-new $25,000 dollar Slate EV Truck. There is also a Lightning Round to discuss an automotive colleague from The Drive and his experience having his press vehicle mistaken as stolen by Flock cameras. Then a viewer has a question about if any low-tech vehicles actually exist?

Welcome back to Wayward Stories!   Tonight we are, yet again, going to embrace that Nomad Spirit, Sedentary Life energy we harnessed a couple of years back when school had me unable to go pretty much anywhere.   As we talked about in the last episode, I've recently been working on some itineraries for road trips from our national historic site that would trace the historic trails set by some of the earliest explorers. So tonight, we're going to explore in the footsteps of one Edward Fitzgerald Beale, the man who “built” the first transcontinental wagon road across the U.S.   I promise tonight's show won't bore you to tears with my historic predilections, because ol' Eddie Beale wasn't just blazing our nation's first transcontinental highway for horses and buggies…he was building what we become a road trip classic bucket-lister…Route 66. There will be national parks, national monuments, state parks, national historic sites, national battlefields, BLM backcountry byways, national Forests, and more!   Also, camels

The renewed interest in Route 66 has come about because of the book Route 66: The Mother Road written by Tulsan Michael Wallis. To date, Mr. Wallis has written 17 books. His work has also been published in magazines and newspapers, including Time, LIFE, People and The New York Times among others. Wallis has been nominated three times for the Pulitzer Prize. Many honors have come his way including the Writers Hall of Fame of America. He was the first to be inducted into the Oklahoma Route 66 Hall of Fame. He was asked to be a consultant for the 2006 Pixar animated film Cars in which he provided the voice of the Sheriff of Radiator Springs including the 2011 sequel. While he enjoys public speaking, it is his writing that has earned him the titles of historian and biographer of the American West. His books include: David Crockett: The Lion of the West; The Wild West: 365 Days; Billy the Kid: The Endless Ride; Pretty Boy: The Life and Times of Charles Arthur Floyd; and Mankiller: A Chief and Her People. Michael and his wife Suzanne Fitzgerald Wallis have made their home in Tulsa, Oklahoma since 1982.

Route 66 turns 100 this year. It's considered America's most nostalgic road trip. With wide open road, sunsets that fill the whole sky, dirt-kissed Chevy trucks, and revving motorcycles. But Route 66 started out as a muddy road to nowhere. Today on the show, we'll meet a league of gilded-age bicyclists, a ragtag gang of cross-country runners, and the very stubborn highway commissioner who turned it into the “Main Street of America.”Guests:Susan Croce Kelly, author of Father of Route 66 and Route 66: the Highway and its PeopleSupport shows like Throughline with NPR+.

With the Summer of Route 66 in full swing, Gathering Place in Tulsa is celebrating the centennial with a different kind of kicks. The Get Your Kicks shoe art competition pits more than twenty local area artists against each other to see who can create the most appealing work of art from a blank white tennis shoe. The results are quite impressive, and currently on display at Gathering Place's boathouse where viewers can vote on their favorite to win a prize for a lucky artist. The shoes will remain on display through July 18, when the large community park will hold its Route 66 Centennial Celebration. Cheryl Christensen, vice president of operations at Gathering Place, joins the Oklahoma Today Show this week to tell us about how the shoe art competition came together and what we have to look forward to at the park's Route 66 celebration this weekend. Also on this week's show, the editors discuss the best places for families to check out during summer vacation, and podvents tells us about not one, but two Oklahoma peach festivals to visit this week. You won't want to miss it!
