I don’t know whether there’s Route 66 content, but “Fantastic Tulsa Films” — a compilation of home and professional movies of Tulsa from years ago — is airing several times in Oklahoma in the coming weeks, including at 7 p.m. today on OETA, the state’s public television network. At the least, it will be of interest to history buffs.

For those who live outside the Tulsa area, a DVD is available of “Fantastic Tulsa Films” for $24.95.

A sample video of “Fantastic Tulsa Films” is here. I about had a heart attack when I saw brief nighttime footage of what appears to be the historic Meadow Gold neon sign that was at 11th Street and Lewis, aka Route 66. But the configuration of the sign is wrong; it must have been a neon sign on the Meadow Gold building itself. You can see it from a screen capture below:

Still, it’s similar enough that you get a pretty good idea what it’s going to look like when it’s restored near 11th and Peoria.

Redforkhippiechick has launched a Web site dedicated to restaurants along old Route 66, called Route66Food.com.

On the home page, it says:

On this site, you’ll find the best dining experiences the Mother Road has to offer, from Lou Mitchell’s in Chicago to the Fair Oaks Pharmacy in Pasadena. Whether your tastes run to hamburgers or hummus, frozen custard or French silk pie, you’re sure to find a little slice of culinary heaven somewhere along Route 66.

On her blog, she says the site will serve another important purpose:

Several years ago, I built a Web site called Route66Motels.com to provide an online presence for some of my favorite mom-and-pop motels that didn’t have Web sites. I’ve been toying with the idea of doing a similar site for restaurants, and while I was having dinner the other night at Al’s Route 66 Cafe in Sapulpa, I was talking with the owner about the fact that he needs a Web site but doesn’t have the time or computer access to put something together, and professional Web designers tend to be prohibitively expensive for little mom-and-pop operations.

So some of her favorite Route 66 eateries that didn’t have a Web presence will have at least a small one — and perhaps something even more substantial in the future.

She has listings only up through Kansas so far, but it promises to be a valuable resource for travelers when she’s done. Check back often.

She will only list restaurants that she has actually visited. But she’s planning on enlisting a West Coast correspondent to help fill the gaps in the western half of the road.
