At a nondescript corner in this dusty west Texas town, a painted sign explains the relevance of a span of unremarkable pavement nearby. The sign reads as follows:
"The Mother Road of Route 66 ran north from I-40 on First Street then west on Main across Vega. A number of abandoned concrete bridges are the only readily visible signs of the old route across the Texas Panhandle."
