Tulsa author Michael Wallis, author of the best-sellling “Route 66: The Mother Road,” is about to begin production on the “American Road” television series. There will be 13 half-hour episodes about scenic highways, including Route 66.
It will be shot by Pro Video Productions of Duluth, Minn. It will air on PBS.
If any of you readers are in the Great Lakes area, and the production team will have a booth at the National Scenic Byways Conference in Cleveland on Oct. 16-19.
UPDATE: Deleted reference to Wallis being at the conference. His production team will be, however.
Ron, are you sure they’re supposed to be at *this* year’s Scenic Byways Conference? I’ve spoken with Michael via e-mail several times today, and he didn’t mention anything about being out of town. I’d think if he were busy at a conference, he wouldn’t have had so much time to spend online. Might want to double-check on those dates.
