I’ve been informed that the historic Vega Motel on Route 66 in Vega, Texas, has closed. Apparently co-owner Harold Whaley is quite ill. He and his wife Tresa have closed the motel and moved from town so she could care for him.
That’s all the information I have. I’ll post more when I learn anything.
Be good … March 17, 2006

… I’ll be away from a computer for a few days. No Route 66 blogging for a while.
So get out of the house and drive the road instead.
As Michael Wallis would say: “Travel well.”
Another reason to drive Missouri’s Route 66 March 17, 2006

And the reason is provided in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s report about Interstate 44.
About 70 percent of the interstate will be torn up before fall. That means two-way traffic, narrowed lanes and lane closures along 207 of the 290 miles that stretch between St. Louis and Oklahoma.
If you’re going to be driving two lanes anyway, why not instead take the highway that’s the best?
