  4. The restoration seems to be going very well! Such a great segment. I'm wondering what this will end up being when it's done, since it is of historical importance. Maybe a museum of sorts? Whatever it will be, I hope that everyone can enjoy and learn from it.

  6. Amen!❤🙏 Love this ❣️
    Born and raised in Oklahoma. There's so much to see on Route 66. But it's sad to watch some of the past time's coming down. So, this is a Blessing to see the restoration of this once old filling station brought back to life. Thank you for covering this piece of history on Route 66, in Luther Oklahoma.
    Born and raised in Duncan, Oklahoma. Now living in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Route 66😊

  7. This is my home I am proud to be from and live here. Ed Threatts aunt was my kindergarten teacher. Miss threatt taught at luther when luther was still segregated. All the folks in luther my age and above will tell you what an inspiring and beautiful soul Mrs Threatt was. Thank you for doing a segment on my hometown the place that I dearly love

  8. My paternal grandparents had a house built of "giraffe rock" in West Central Texas. The apprentices' restoration of this filling station, made of such stone, and the preserving of the cemeteries is remarkably fine work being done. Those who originally carved and placed those stones no doubt look down from above upon their handiwork with tremendous joy.
