      Partly, I think. Roy's is on the National Trails Highway, the former U.S. Route 66. I remember seeing another video about Roy's and the people who owned it back then.

    I remember going to Belle Island in the late 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s on field trip with the children I worked with . It was a shame that the Island had gone down hill.

    When I was a kid, we used to drive through Amboy couple times a year. I remember one particular time probably in the late 60s early 70s. We had to make a phone call at the phone booth. We went in on the phone there was no dial or push buttons There was a crank up the top of the phone booth you had to crank in order to get the operator.

    As a visitor to Amboy Ca., I was surprised as well as disappointed that nothing was said about the volcano there. I think that would draw people to this location. I know it did me.

    I can remember around 20 years ago there was a Program to Restore 10 of Americans National Treasure’s. At that time I specialized in restoring Historical Buildings and Homes. Restoring a building that was built around 100 to 150 prior was amazing 🌟🇺🇸
    The Craftsmanship prior to electric power tools made each day a journey of the past. Those old Masters were far ahead of their time. History has so much to teach us if we only learn from the past.

    In the 1970's a friend and I were driving thru Arizona, Texas etc & checked our map and decided to stop at a town midway to our destination for gas & a snack. What a shock ! Turned out to be a rundown ruin gas station & nothing else. We managed to coast in to a distant town on the smell of an oily rag, as the saying goes. 😧🏜️

    i wander what happened to the poor people who had homes and businesses there, and in other abandoned places. It's not like you can SELL UP and move in. It is a huge loss. Does the government compensate these people or just leave them to start again.

      The government - that’s a scary idea as it would start a bad habit of forcing everyone paying for government to bail out anyone where business declines. Think of our already insane national debt. Voters are so confused - the nation is also run by confused over spenders. Look at our terrible inflation now, caused by excessive money printing and greed. All societies rise and fall. We are lacking self-reliance and thus falling fast.

    Those of you trying to enter ere with your guns have found that out.
    We don't have your problems. If you want to set up cities in the U.S. that welcome the whole world, we have nothing to do with that.
    We have open immigration here, because we need the population in this huge country, with the longest border... and we take care of our own problems with criminality. We don't ask for help, but we DO work with U.S. departments when criminals must he caught.
    Thank you.

      Idioms and slang are what give life and color to any language. To "gas up" isn't really that difficult to figure out, is it? It simply - and obviously - meant to fill a car's gas tank all the way up to the top... full. A very common customer request at gas stations of the era was "Fill 'er up!", which was the instruction to the gas station attendant to fill the customer's car ( tank ) with fuel.
