Purple Caboose of Mystery!? I'd be all over that if it were real.

I re-visited DawnTiki's unanswered 2002 question because next week I'll be posting pics of signage along the LA stretch of 66 in my blog and am trying to figure out if I can accurately label Trader Vic's in Beverly Hills as the only tiki bar currently in operation on Route 66. I enjoy combining interests and clarifying details like that.

Ahh, Johntiki, you are right! It was an absolute blast. I was raised in a Rt66 city and have driven all of it except the part in IL. Last big trip was Joplin to LA with particular emphasis on photographing every inch of CA 66 that I could. I just posted the Summit Inn with its Twilight Zone-ish napkin holders a few days ago and am working on my pics of Rialto's Wigwam Motel.

Come down my way and I'll buy you a soda from the cold water cooler at Eisler Brothers General Store on Kansas Route 66.

So, back to Illinois Route 66...any tiki there?
