Here’s a video about the Shellee Graham photography exhibit, “Return to Route 66,” that’s on display at the Longmont Museum and Cultural Center in Longmont, Colo., through March 9.
It looks like the museum brought some classic cars and other memorabilia for the show, too.

For you Chicago roadies, WFBT-TV, Channel 48, will be renamed WMEU on March 1 and will start broadcasting old episodes of the “Route 66″ TV show from the early 1960s, according to the Chicago Tribune.
This is in addition to the classic-TV lineup on WWME, aka Me-TV, which is owned by the same outfit — Weigel Broadcasting — that owns WFBT.
Then there’s this:
Besides being broadcast and carried by some area cable providers, the channels also will be available on digital sub-channels belonging to sister station WCIU-Ch. 26, WCIU-DT 26.2 and 26.3 respectively. [...]
Me-Too’s lineup will include “Route 66,” “Naked City,” “77 Sunset Strip,” “Adventures of Superman,” “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” “Square Pegs,” “Silver Spoons,” “Facts of Life,” “Partridge Family,” “The Brady Bunch,” and “The Monkees.”
Television stations that have shown “Route 66″ have grown increasingly rare. Perhaps, because of the DVD releases, more stations will rebroadcast them.
