You live in a community along the Route 66 corridor. Even in the era of COVID 19 induced travel restrictions you see the flow of traffic, the people taking pictures, and the social media posts about Route 66 adventures. You see the potential for transforming your community, for breathing new life into historic business districts and blighted neighborhoods. And you see that, at best, the city makes an anemic effort to capitalize on the opportunities that Route 66 offers.
So, what can you do? On this mornings program author Jim Hinckley, America's storyteller, shares ideas with demonstrable results, provides some inspiration, and encourages people to take the bull by the horn.
