... on Route 66. A neon sign in Albuquerque NM. Malt shop & Grill. (hamburgers & chilli-dogs!)

A lot of people think (wrongly) that Western countries like the US, Canada & Australia, have no culture. But they do. This is part of the famed national highway from Chicago to LA. Taken late afternoon, with the last rays of the sun reflected in the post.

From Wikipedia:

"U.S. Route 66 (also known as the Will Rogers Highway after the humorist, and colloquially known as the "Main Street of America" or the "Mother Road") was a highway in the U.S. Highway System. One of the original U.S. highways, Route 66, US Highway 66, was established on November 11, 1926. However, road signs did not go up until the following year.[1] The famous highway originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before ending at Los Angeles, encompassing a total of 2,448 miles (3,940 km)[2]. It was recognized in popular culture by both a hit song and a television show in the 1950s and 1960s."
