Newspaper to cover Route 66!

Each issue of this monthly newspaper will carry photographs and stories, interviews and special events to see and do along this entire historic road. The Route 66 Pulse will be a trip back in time, with an eye to the future, and will cover planned restoration areas and buildings along Route 66.

"A monthly newspaper dealing with current events and preservation activities on Route 66, that combines sharp, objective writing and eye-catching photographs will make the The Route 66 Pulse newspaper a welcome edition for all Mother Road followers."
