We have something very special (and inspiring) for you with this program. Our special guest is Liz Vincent, Director of Community Enrichment, City of Pontiac in Illinois. Often referred to as the quintessential Route 66 community Pontiac is a vibrant destination for visitors, the land of opportunity for entrepreneurs, and a well spring of inspiration for community organizers.
This is more than another smile inducing, road trip inspiring shared adventure from Jim Hinckley’s America! This is opportunity knocking, and a community changing conversation.

On this thought provoking and road trip inspiring episode, with Gary Sosniecki of the Lebanon-Laclede County Route 66 Society as our guide, we journey to Lebanon, Missouri and discover where to find great pie, catfish, and barbecue. And we learn a bit about how a community can be transformed with vision, passionate people, and leadership that can inspire a community, build a network of cooperative partnerships, and embrace new ideas.
As a bonus Gary shared some fascinating Route 66 history, provided an update about the future of a Route 66 icon, and invited the world to a delightful Route 66 festival. We even squeezed in some talk about the Route 66 centennial, and a book about a murder that hit close to home written by Gary.
As our theme song by The Road Crew says, come along for the ride!
