Welcome to Needles - Arizona. This morning America's storyteller shares the odd stories of two frontier era communities named Needles, both with a Route 66 connection. Remember, it is better to fill the head with useless knowledge than no knowledge at all!
On this program we roll western history, railroad history, Route 66 trivia, and an invitation into one package. As the song by The Road Crew says, come along for the ride.
Todays program is sponsored in part by RouteTrip USA , road trip specialists for a holiday in the US or Canada, magical and fascinating Tucumcari, New Mexico, and through the magic of crowdfunding.

Published in the fall of 1907 was a particularly comedic story about the deplorable state of the Mohave County Jail in Kingman, Arizona. “Because all the prisoners in the Mohave County Jail, grown tired of the sameness of the menu, and their surroundings, walked away a short time ago. All of the fugitives face additional charges for the jail break. None of the escapees have yet been caught.”
On this mornings program we step back to the territorial era in Arizona, and share the story of a fascinating historic landmark. It is a tale of jail breaks, a hanging, and a look into life in the last years of the western frontier.
