A few things that should be of interest to most roadies:
- Roadside America has revamped its Web site. Not only did the purveyors of roadside oddities give it a spiffier design, but there’s a new blog, more animation, new tools and more videos.
- Route 66 roadie Mark Potter reports that the Hot Dogs and Hot Rods on Route 66 festival in Clinton, Okla., on June 27-28 tentatively plans to have popular Oklahoma country-rock band Cross Canadian Ragweed perform in the amphitheater at historic McLain Rogers Park.
- The Web site for the Triangle Motel in Amarillo, Texas, has a lot of encouraging news about the restoration efforts for the historic Route 66 motel.
- The folks behind the excellent “Independent America” documentary are shooting a sequel in New Orleans. “Independent America: Rising from the Ruins” is checking to see how independent businesses are doing in the years after Hurricane Katrina. You can follow the filmmakers’ adventures on their blog.
