Inspired by a recent conversation I had with one, <a href="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2009/06/not-your-mothers-pizza/">Blake Ewing, owner of Joe Momma's in downtown Tulsa</a>, I decided it was time to share these images with you.

They're images of one of Tulsa's top treasures. And, according to Blake, a top tourist attraction, even by the world's standards.

Do you have any idea what I'm talking about? Any at all?<!--more-->

Route 66, baby. You may know it better as the Mother Road.

To be honest, I didn't even know where it began and eneded in Tulsa. I had driven Route 66 on the west side of the city but never on the east. <a href="http://www.tashadoestulsa.com/2010/03/tulsa-according-to-route-66/">I was educated by TDT on the finer points of this gem</a>, this beautiful road that runs right through our town, so  off I went with my Polaroid in tow.

Like most everything else that captures my eye, Route 66 is full of color. Always color.
