That's cool but how about feeding and housing the starving and homeless?
oh look, another nonsensical made up thing…….endangered landmarks. No such thing. If a landmark is dying, it would be because people no longer consider it a landmark, pretty simple stuff here.
That's how you save Black American history. The Republicans can't erase everything.
Black NATIVE Oklahoman = From AMERICA NOT AFRICA
I used to own land a few miles east of this station. Its good to see it being taken care of. There were lots of old Mom & Pop stations along 66 and some, like this one deserve protection.
Great historical restoration!
BOYCOTT …………………………….. Applebee's!
Imagine where we'd be as a species if we all focused our energies on life affirming action rather than dwelling on a meaningless past.
Get your Kicks on Route 66 . You learn something every day, and I just did .
That's a stop, I would like to make
I remember once, when the woman was funny and a pleasure to watch. NOW SHE CAN POUND SALT.
"And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass? And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them. But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven."
"And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh."
Bible, Gospel of Luke, chapter 21.
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God."
Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 17-18.
"Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee."
Acts, chapter 8, verse 22.
"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."
Gospel of John, chapter 3, verse 3.
"From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
Gospel of Matthew, chapter 4, verse 17.
"After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight."
Hosea, chapter 6, verse 2.
"But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day."
Peter, chapter 3, verse 8.
"knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation."
Peter, chapter 3, verse 3-4.
"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord."
1 Thessalonians, chapter 4, verse 16-17.
"in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."
1 Corinthians, chapter 15, verse 52.
"I tell you, in that night there shall be two men in one bed; the one shall be taken, and the other shall be left. Two women shall be grinding together; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left."
Luke, chapter 17, verse 34-36.

Luther, Oklahoma is named after Luther Jones he was the son of Charles Grist Mill Jones.
Grist Mill was one of the early pioneers. Luther was a used car salesman in Oklahoma City. Somehow he met and fell in love with Ruby Darby she was known as the Queen of the Southern Oklahoma oil fields.
She traveled around Texas and Oklahoma with a 16 girl burlesque show. Luther and her were only married around 10 months. She made it to the Ziegfeld Follies, and entertained the troops in Europe in World War I.
Ruby was pretty wild she made it to Hollywood after the war Luther followed her out there.
He ended up passing away in 1939. Jones Oklahoma is named after Luther's dad.
You never know what you'll find when you research your family history.
Love the tv series but it really had nothing to do with the historic road but the name.
Ed, you continue to make me proud! I'm excited to see something of my era with which I had/have a personal connection, become an indelible part of history. "A Safe Haven"! What a beautiful legacy! Imagine that during our lifetime there was a need for "A Safe Haven" for people who looked like us. Those who bypassed The Threatt Service Station thinking, mistakenly, that they could make it to their destination, only to find themselves 30 miles down the highway, in need of a "Safe Haven," were directed (need I say by whom?) to our home, also on Route 66. There are many such stories I'm sure will never be told, but thanks to The Threat Service Station for shining as a beacon for those who provided "A Safe Haven."
Re, George Maharis and Route 66. He died back in May( 2023).
It was a fantastic show!!!
Needs tore down I wouldn't stop there if things were half price
