During this time stress I must say all your videos of your route 66 trip have definitely put a smile on my face. You are very good at what you do! thanks for the smiles
I spent about 10 years along this section of Rt. 66, exploring many of the same places that you looked at. Although I never saw that bricked stretch of road that you toured. They had a section of Rt. 66 that was dug up during the construction of the 255/270 interchange and it was brick underneath the asphalt. A person that I was friends with said that they took all those bricks to the dump. I nearly cried...I would have loved to have one! I did get a chunk of Rt. 66 concrete that they chipped out near Mt. Olive from one of the four lane stretches that they had recently blocked off from traffic with those big barricades. Thanks for the tour! I kind of stumbled upon your videos and now a fan of your enthusiasm!
I'm from Illinois and I've passed that Pink Elephant Antique place so many times. It's only of those places that you always pass, but you never go in. Thank for letting us People who have gone through the same thing, see what's inside that place!
I've been watching your trip since you started. They've been Great! I have to say I like the small towns and how they embrace Route 66 and keep this part of USA history Alive.
I love brick roads but they do take a lot of maintenance in the North with our freeze thaw cycles. But there is just something about brick that is visually appealing. Concrete is the most durable in my opinion but it takes so long to cure that it is not viable for busy roads any longer. As far as highschools with basements. My dad's highschool had been repurposed into my Jr. High. The basement held the gym, cafeteria and extra storage rooms. And of course, tornado shelter. All the original old school highschools had basements for tornados, some of the others had classrooms as well.
That brick portion really reminds me of the part of the old Lincoln Highway that runs really close to where I work - it's that same type of brick. I really need to go out and video driving on it. I have a soft spot in my heart for old roads, especially original brick ones. All that history that's been on those roads. Think of all those stories!
So, I am in WDW right now. On P.O.T.C.( if you don't know what that stands for I don't know what to tell you) there was a talking scull when it first opened, but they took it away. Last night out of no where they didn't even say something about it the scull was back! This gives me an excuse to ride it five more times! 😃
The school I attended from kindergarten through 8th grade had a basement. It was mainly built as a civil defense shelter for the community, but there was a lunch room as well as art and shop classes down there. The high school you're looking at looks like it might have been built about the same time. Maybe it was also that town's bomb shelter.
Hi Justin im a new fan and love your appreciation for history and learning new things. you're alot of fun to watch its appreciated after a long day :) are you familiar with an old show on kcet called California's Gold? you'd be a PERFECT new host for that show. KCET hire this guy!! people will tune in :)
Been binge watching all of your Route 66 videos!! I never thought I had an attention span that lasted longer than half an hour, but I guess I was wrong!
Ur Route 66 run has been memorable. At some point u should do The Lincoln Highway and PCH fm the Mexican boder to the Canadian border. Even hwy 49 thru Cal Gold Rush Country would be a fun one!!!
I love your videos so much! lol I've been constantly refreshing my UA-cam dashboard just about every hour since the last video just waiting for the next one! haha
We have an alien house in Pensacola it's pretty awesome to drive by. Idk if any one lives there now but I know at one point someone did when I was younger.
Hey Justin diggen you quest on old route 66 man. I had an idea maybe you can due quest on highway 46 in Cali where James Dean past away on. Anyway thank you keep on trucking on 66. cheers.
The most underrated vlogger of all time! It's so cool to see you visiting my home state! :)
During this time stress I must say all your videos of your route 66 trip have definitely put a smile on my face. You are very good at what you do! thanks for the smiles
These brick-road Route 66 videos may be the best Justin Scarred yet. He has captured living American history.

I can't possibly imagine the amount of hours that went into making that brick road. And it was well worth the effort.
I've been watching your trip since you started. They've been Great! I have to say I like the small towns and how they embrace Route 66 and keep this part of USA history Alive.
You're in my neck of the woods, hope you enjoyed southern Illinois!
Great video!!! Route 66 series that you're doing is the best of all of them. Thanks for sharing! HOTEL... REST WELL!!
Outtakes and bloopers! The best!
Brick road section seems to be in fairly good shape considering the age. Nice coverage over the mother road!
OMG! I passed you on the brick road on my way home to Auburn! totally didn't know it was you!!
Omg that is so crazy

I'm usually not a big outtakes fan but those were darn funny!
Another great one Justin. Looking forward to Chicago and to more vids with Ally again soon. 😎
We still have brick roads in Augusta Ga they were the original roads of the day!
I really enjoy this random adventures along Route 66. This one showcases many of the towns I live nearby and grew up around.

That's so cool! Love all these little towns

This has been your best set of videos yet!
Most of the abandoned stretches of Route 66 in Illinois are actually the other side of the four-lane divided highway Route 66.
Motel & Schleep well. It's beautiful!
Justin you are a true performer
Super cool brick road! Awesome!

Thanks for going out of your way to see the brick road Justin - that was so cool!!
You're so much fun. It would be so much fun to travel with you😊
My girlfriend actually goes to school in carlinville, its a really historic town, lots to see!
Not a major highway but next time you are in pittsburgh, pa you should stop and see the wooden street....very cool and rare to find one intact.
I like that brick road. It would be neat if it was the entire route. Be safe out there.
