You heard it here first! Will Mesalands Community College in Tucumcari, New Mexico have a course on neon sign repair and creation in time for the Route 66 centennial?
On today's episode of Coffee With Jim, a conversation between David Brenner of the Roadrunner Lodge Motel in Tucumcari, New Mexico and Jim Hinckley of Jim Hinckley's America we talked about chasing dreams, the rewards and challenges of vintage motel ownership on Route 66, mid life career changes, and what makes Route 66 unique. And we talked about a future in which neon glows bright along Route 66 in Tucucmari.
And we also talked with some fascinating people that see Route 66 as the road of dreams that leads to Tucumcari, land of opportunity.
If today's program had a theme it would be inspiration. Inspiration to chase dreams. Inspiration to build a sense of community and community purpose. Inspiration to change careers. And inspiration to embrace life.

Horneytown, North Carolina. Yes, it's a real place. On this episode of Coffee With Jim the conversation with Professor Nolan Stolz about road trips, Route 66, U.S. 6, Amboy, California, time capsule villages, and the joy of adventures on the open road definitely had some interesting detours. That includes delving into a bit of juvenile humor.
Stolz is well known in the Route 66 community for interesting adventures, and for uncovering the sotries of forgotten places. These road trip inspiring journeys are shared on his YouTube channel named for Route 66 Suite, a musical composition he is developing to commemorate the storied old highway. Videos and stories also shared with supporters of his projects on Patreon.
