The Museum Club was built in 1931 as a museum, but is now a night club ... and is supposedly haunted!
A classic roadside diner: The Crown Railroad Cafe.
The 66 Motel -- one of thousands of 50's-style motels on the route.
The Western Hills Motel sign has a neon covered wagon -- a reminder of Route 66's origins as a wagon trail.
Grand Canyon Cafe sign. Chop Suey!
The Santa Fe Railroad depot now houses a visitor center.
Before the railroad overpass was built, the 1926-1934 alignment of Route 66 followed Beaver Street, Phoenix Avenue, and Mikes Pike. The Motel Du Beau's towering sign sits on the corner of Beaver Street and Phoenix Avenue, easily visible from the train station on the other side of the tracks.
The Milum Building, built in the 1920's, sits in the sharp angle formed by Phoenix Avenue and Mikes Pike. Until the late 1990's, the building housed the Milum family's commercial laundry; now it is occupied by a pizzeria, a bicycle shop, and the Mother Road Brewing Company. The Mother Road Brewing Company offers a fine selection of Route 66-themed beers, such as Twin Arrows Brown Ale.

This statue of Louie the Lumberjack (the NAU mascot) stands outside of the Granny's Closet Restaurant (formerly the Lumberjack Cafe). Update: In February 2018 the Louie the Lumberjack statue was reported gone from this location, to be relocated to another location to be determined.

Galaxy Diner

Hot ride (1963 Ford Galaxie) and cool neon.
I love neon.
