John Steinbeck gave the name "Mother Road" to Route 66 in his novel The Grapes Of Wrath, and Lucille Hammons was the (self-proclaimed) "Mother of the Mother Road." She and her husband ran a fuel station a few miles east of here for fifty-nine years, surviving accidents, the Great Depression, and I-40. The décor of Lucille's Roadhouse echoes that old station with vintage fuel pumps outside, and there is plenty of Route 66 memorabilia inside. You can read much more (and peruse the menu) at the link below.
