i love the name "love canal" bcuz if you dont know what it is, it sounds like a cheesy romantic themepark ride, but actually it was a toxic waste dumping site that a residential neighborhood and school were built on top of and where mysterious pools of black sludge would occasionally seep up. it got razed in the 80s.

#well. mostly.#also look up times beach in missouri. it got razed after dioxin was used on city streets and is now Route 66 State Park

Amboy, California, USA

The iconic Roy's Cafe and Motel is on an abandoned section of Route 66. It's in the middle of the Mohave Desert, and you have to want to travel to Amboy to get there. It's a Route 66 poster child.

i keep showing up a decade late to formerly huge fandoms, and on one hand it's great because i miss all the toxic fandom stuff but on the other hand i also miss all the fun art and theory posts.

#specifically this is about gravity falls and pokemon gen 5.#it's like. the fandom equivalent of moving to a route 66 town. this place used to be a real boomtown! but now most folks have moved on and #even though there's a ton of nostalgia from the folks who grew up here the town's actual social life is like. knitting club on saturdays.#ok in pokemon bw's case i guess it's more like. a formerly-popular suburb that most folks have moved out of to be closer to their job #but lately tourists have been coming through because they did a tv special about the historic train station nd everyone wants to see it now #(seriously the pokemon black and white tag is like 70% ingo and emmet)#oncilla speaks #it's so hard to find good content about N almost nobody's making it anymore and i don't know where to find the old stuff :<

How the U.S. government almost used nukes to build a new Route 66 in the Mojave Desert @Route 66 News

The Sidetrack Adventures channel — which has produced a lot of good content to interest Route 66 buffs — recently created a new video that explains how the U.S. government considered the use of nuclear bombs to build a new alignment of Route 66 through California’s Mojave Desert. Yes, this proposal sounds stupefyingly dumb even to the layman. But during the early 1960s, it was a serious thing to…

McDonald’s Day

McDonald’s Day falls on April 15, the anniversary day of when Ray Kroc opened his first McDonald’s restaurant in Des Plaines, Illinois, in 1955. Most, if not all, people around the world know this name, we believe. It’s one of the world’s largest fast-food restaurant chains. Did you know that Ray Kroc was not the founder of McDonald’s? The founders were the McDonald brothers. The current corporation credits its founding to Ray Kroc. So, let’s celebrate this McDonald’s Day in honor of Kroc as well as the restaurant founders, the McDonald brothers.

HISTORY OF MCDONALD'S DAY

The very first McDonald’s restaurant was opened by New Hampshire brothers Richard and Maurice McDonald on May 15, 1940, in San Bernardino, California. The McDonald brothers started by serving slow-cooked barbecue, and the business took off quickly. They later found out that 80% of their sales were from hamburgers, so they closed it for three months. They then remodeled it as a self-service restaurant, where customers placed their orders at the windows. It is said that they simplified their menu to just nine: hamburgers, cheeseburgers, three flavors of soft drink, milk, coffee, potato chips, and pie.

The McDonald’s brothers developed the “Speedee Service System,” allowing them to prepare the food quickly. All their hamburgers contained ketchup, mustard, onions, and two pickles. Although this newly remodeled McDonald’s struggled at first, once the brothers replaced potato chips with french fries and introduced triple thick milkshakes, the business started to grow again. In the early 1950s, they saw their profits double. They then established several franchises in California and Arizona. Ray Kroc, a milkshake mixer salesman, visited them in 1954, wondering why McDonald’s would order eight of his multimixers.

Once Kroc knew about McDonald’s restaurant operation, he saw potential in it. He then bought the rights to franchise the brothers’ restaurant across the country. He opened his first McDonald’s franchised restaurant in Des Plaines, Illinois, in 1955. But, their relationship was contentious due to philosophies that differ on how to run the business. Kroc later purchased the company from the McDonald brothers in 1961. The brothers who lent their name to the business and were pioneers of the business concept gradually faded to the background. They kept their original San Bernardino restaurant until they were out of business eventually.
