Holbrook, Arizona suffered badly with the interstate highway’s bypass of Route 66 in 1981, and it has never fully recovered. Within twelve months of rerouting traffic along I-40 rather than through town, forty-five businesses closed. But this is an old town, and hard times are a part of its history. This is evidenced by a dusty lane, lined with long-closed businesses, signed as Bucket of Blood Street, and the story of an incredible frontier era shootout.
Today's program is sponsored in part by tips, support of our crowdfunding initiative (https://www.patreon.com/jimhinckleysamerica) and by the City of Cuba (visitcubamo.com)
