For you roadies out east, the Booth Western Art Museum in the Atlanta suburb of Cartersville, Ga., soon will be hosting an exhibition by artist Chuck Middlekauff that explores Route 66 and U.S. 41, which goes from Chicago Michigan to Miami, Fla.
Middlekauff, as noted by the image of the sign of the Sands Motel on Route 66 in Grants, N.M., likes to paint old neon signs.
Some of Middlekauff’s work will be for sale at the Cartersville museum during the exhibition from Aug. 18 to Nov. 8, with an opening reception and lecture on Sept. 17.
After that, his work will be for sale and on display at the Legacy Contemporary Gallery in Scottsdale, Ariz., with a reception on Feb. 18.
Great to hear of this exhibit being in Cartersville, GA. Not but about 35 miles from the house. Will certainly check it out. The Booth Western Art Museum is a fantastic place and now Route 66 will be represented there. This should pump some interest in The Mother Road.

The 75 folks of Copper Harbor, Michigan might take exception to US 41 starting in Chicago.

Good catch, Pat. Correction has been made.
Ron, do you know if 41 is the Dixie Highway?
At least partly, yes. This link will provide you a lot of information:
