In this episode Laura and I discuss our trip across Route 66! This year marks the 100 year centennial for Americas mother road. We start on the west coast in California, working our way back across all 8 states to Illinois. We discuss some of the attractions in every state, along with some sights off the course that make the trip even more worthwhile! Some of the attractions we discuss include the Grand Canyon, the Santa Monica Pier, Monument Valley, Big Sur, and Los Angeles! Whether you're thinking about doing the route or previously have done it, feel free to comment or ask questions! The travel book referenced in this episode is titled “Route 66 Travel Guide 202 Amazing Places.” This is the Santa Monica to Chicago edition.

In this week's episode the Powell's discuss a recent road trip to the hometown of our fathers. #Whitakers #NorthCarolina is a town in northeastern NC that time has left behind. Its a rural hamlet that lost its lifeline when the interstate was built, like many thriving small towns along the highways and byways of America prior to the Interstate highway system being built. #I95 #I10#I301 #I5 #I75 #i90 have connected large swaths of the country but have been a bane to small town America. The guys also say goodbye to #NBA coach #DonNelson , or #Nellie as he was affectionately known. There was a major earthquake in #Colombia . We hope the survivors of the #ColombianEarthquake recover soon. Former NBA star #BenSimmons is talking comeback. Ohhhhkayy. There is some ridiculousness happening with for NBA player #EnesKantor who wants to enter the #WNBADraft . What a loser.

2026 marks the 100th anniversary of Route 66, and to celebrate, we cruise to some of the quaint, small towns along the Mother Road in Illinois. Each landmark captures the charm and spirit of the Route, from its restored nostalgic service stations to its larger-than-life statues to its sweet, sticky condiments. Our itinerary includes:Two Cell Jail & Riviera Restaurant;The Shop on Route 66;Gemini Giant;Polk-a-Dot Drive In;Ryburn Place Gifts and Gab at Sprague's Super Service; and Funks Grove Maple Sirup Farm.  

Most people own a Bible, but very few actually know it. For many, Scripture feels overwhelming—like trying to complete a giant puzzle without knowing the picture on the box. We live in a world full of opinions, confusion, and noise, yet the very thing designed to guide us often sits unopened on a shelf.Without God's Word, we lose direction, clarity, wisdom, and truth. The Bible was never meant to be decoration or religious background noise. It was given to shape how we think, live, decide, and follow God. Stop treating the Bible like an accessory, and start seeing it as the roadmap for life itself.THE BIG IDEA: The Bible isn't just a book—it's the roadmap to life.

178 miles of the legendary highway runs through the Texas panhandle.

Touristisches Highlight, Kulturgut und Sehnsuchtsort: Die legendäre Route 66 wird in diesem Jahr 100 Jahre alt. Die Straße von Chicago nach Los Angeles führt durch acht Bundesstaaten. Einst war sie der Inbegriff von Freiheit und Abenteuer. Und ein Symbol für die Hoffnung auf ein besseres Leben, den Aufbruch nach Westen, den amerikanischen Traum.Die ehemalige US-Korrespondentin Claudia Sarre versucht im Gespräch mit Samuel Jackisch und Torben Börgers aus dem ARD-Studio Washington herauszufinden, was im Trump-Amerika noch von diesem amerikanischen Traum übrig ist.Die beiden ARD-Korrespondenten erzählen von ihren Begegnungen auf der Route 66, der sogenannten "Mutter aller Straßen". Torben sagt, auf der Fahrt bekomme man vor allem ein Gefühl für das amerikanische Durchhaltevermögen, den "American Spirit", für das Gefühl des Nie-Aufgebens und des "sich-am-eigenen-Schopfe-aus-dem-Sumpf-Ziehens, wenn es mal nicht so läuft". Die Route 66 sei "America on a Single Road", meint Samuel, das habe er auf seiner Reise sehr oft gehört. Einerseits die tolle Natur, die aufgeschlossenen, gastfreundlichen Menschen und andererseits der Niedergang, die Frustration, die Enttäuschung und häufig auch eine gewisse Melancholie und Sehnsucht nach der guten alten Zeit. Sein Resümee: auf diesem Highway bekommst du alles zu sehen: das Gute, das Schöne, das Problematische - eben das echte Amerika.Ihr habt Fragen an Jiffer und Ingo?

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.

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.

In this episode, we're starting with a discussion about body language – specifically how people talk with their hips, whether they realize it or not. After that, we'll hear from an expert about how Gen Z is finally hitting the bottle – but with different drinking habits than earlier generations. Then, we're headed to a gender reveal party. But, this one isn't for a human. It's for a capybara. After that, we're going to Kingman, Arizona, to meet the savior of Route 66 at the Historic Route 66 Museum.

This was such a fantastic show; it felt great from start to finish and I wish they could all be like this. 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?

A master stonemason considers the great sites of Europe and shares what these enduring structures can teach us about permanence, craft, and human ambition. Then an Italian tour guide sheds light on the Dolomites, the spectacular setting where Italian, German, and Ladin traditions meet. Plus, an aficionado of American road trips tells us about efforts to revitalize historic Route 66 as a national heritage trail.

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+.
