Spring issue of Route 66 Magazine is out

Bob Moore, executive editor of Route 66 Magazine, was kind enough to provide me a preview of what’s coming up on the spring issue of his magazine. He said the publication should be in bookstores and newstands sometime this week.
Here’s the rundown on the current issue:

  • Cover story is “I Have Seen the Future” by Johnny V (Johnny Meier, former president of the New Mexico Route 66 Association). It’s a story of how people in the 1920s and ’30s envisioned what the world would look like in future generations. Check out the cool cover above.
  • “The Blevins Boys” by Bob Boze Bell, publisher of True West magazine. It’s about Commodore Perry Owens and a big shootout in Holbrook, Ariz.
  • “66 in ’46,” by Marisue Pickering. A road trip, along with family photos, in 1946.
  • “Route 66 in 48 Hours,” by Ann Carden. The second of two parts of a trip from Flagstaff to Albuquerque and back.
  • “Awash with Museums,” by Karen Loparco. A look at museums along the Mother Road from Illinois to Oklahoma.
  • And more.

I noticed this a few days ago, but Moore announced that the Route 66 Magazine Web site has been redesigned. I think it looks really good; it accentuates the current issue nicely.

Moore also is plugging along with his Route 66 radio show on KTOX 1340 AM in Needles, Calif. Click on this link to hear one of the previous shows.
