The 85th Anniversary of U.S. Route 66
November 11th marks the 85th Anniversary of one of the most famous highways in America, U.S. Route 66. Route 66 opened in 1926 stretching from Chicago to Los Angeles and became a western migration route for people looking for work during the great depression of the 1930′s or to escape the Dust Bowl disaster. Later, it offered vacation getaways and driving adventures until 1985 when it was decommissioned as a federal highway. Facing neglect after its decommissioning, many Route 66 enthusiasts lobbied for the highway to be placed on National Historic Registers and Preservation Lists. Today, portions of the road have been designated National Scenic Byways and some have been renamed Historic Route 66 in an attempt to boost its revival.
<“루트66”은 미동부 시카고의 레익 미시건에서 시작해 8개주를 거쳐 캘리포니아 샌타모니카 바닷가에 이르는 2,400여마일(3,860Km) 거리의 대륙횡단 도로다. 생명력을 가진 젖줄이라고 해서 ‘마더로드(Mother Road)’, 타운과 타운을 잇는 중심도로라 해서 ‘메인 스트릿(Main Street)’, 피끓는 정열이 담겨있는 곳이라고 해서 ‘블라디 66(Bloody 66)’ 길 자체의 대명사란 의미로‘더 루트(The Route)’로 불리는 국도다 .> (아메리카 로드에서 )
존스타인벡의 ‘분노의 포도’는 이 길이 배경이며 ,1930년대의 상징이다 .밀어닥친 대공황기에 미국의 농민과 도시 노동자들의 삶의 질곡을 다룬 소설이다. 작품 속의 무대인 66번 도로를 따라 11일간의 긴 여정 속에서 고난을 가족애로 극복하는 길이다 . 가족의 이주 루트를 따라 현실에 좌절하는 사람들에게 아메리칸 드림을 안겨준다 .
미국스타일을 창조한 문화의 도로다. 루트 66 . 엘비스 프레스리 ,넷킹콜, 폴 앵카·밥 딜런으로 이어지는 가수들이 노래했던 길. 하지만 현재 지도상에는 도로번호가 표기돼있지 않은 길. 루트 66(Route 66)은 산타페 기념품가게에 가면 복사 표지판을 살 수 있다. 진짜 도로위에 설치되었던 양철 표지판은 골동품으로 부르는 게 값이다 . 내가 투숙한 모텔에는 진품이 걸려있다 .
<'Route-66'은 미국 최초의 대륙횡단 도로. 총연장 400Km로 동서횡단의 가장 유명하고 역사적인 길이다. 대공황 이후 1950년대 후반까지 수만명의 농민, 동부지역 노동자들이 보다 나은 삶을 찾아 서부로 향하는 행렬을 이룬다. 이때 66번도로가 널리 사용되면서 르네상스시대를 꽃피우게 된다. 존 스타인벡은 이 도로를 ‘새로운 기회를 찾는 길’이라는 의미로 ‘어머니의 넉넉한 품 ''이라고 불렀다. 미국사람들은 향수에 젖어 이 길을 달리며 단단히 각오를 다지고 새 힘을 얻는다.>
<루트 66번에는 아름답고 그립고 고독한 모든 것들이 있다 .산, 강, 숲, 초원, 계곡 , 석유, 평원 ,산맥 ...뉴멕시코주의 포장도로에는 ‘Historic Route 66''이라는 자주색 교통표지판이 자주 눈에 띤다. 기근과 실업, 가뭄의 와중에 루트 66은 기회의 길이자 ‘꿈의 파이프라인’이었다. 2차 대전 중에는 철도와 함께 미국 대륙을 잇는 거의 유일한 동맥이었다.>
<‘루트 66’은 미국 문학·예술에 지대한 영향을 미친 길이다 . 이 도로의 주인공들은 책 노래 영화 텔레비전의 대스타들이다 . ’세인트루이스’나 ‘오클라호마 시티’처럼 백여 곡이 넘는 팝송 가사에 등장했다. TV 드라마와 쇼의 제목이 되기도 했다 . 예전에는 미국에서 가장 유명한 길 . 사라진 길 ‘루트 66’ 은 다시 복원된다 .
미 국회는 1000만 달러의 예산을 들여 루트 66을 복원하기로 결정했다. 짧은 미국 역사에서 하나의 전설이 되었던 이 길이 다시 현실에 등장하게 된 것이다. 뉴욕타임스 매거진은 이 소식을 보도하며 루트 66에 연관된 기억을 가지고 있는 여러 독자들의 회고담을 기사화했다.
대부분 장년층인 이들의 기억은 모두 비슷비슷하다. 남루한 길과 초라한 자신의 모습, 그러나 결코 남루할 수 없었던 젊음. 그들은 고향에 박혀 있던 삶의 뿌리를 송두리째 뽑아 도시에 이식하기 위해 루트 66을 달려갔다. 서부개척시대 이래로 전해져오는 ‘캘리포니안 드림’이 자신에게도 해당되는 말일지는 아무도 알 수 없었다. >( < > 부분은 구글 , 위키백과 , 아메리카 로드 , 루트 66 책에서 )
<루트 66은 사선 모양으로 만들었다. 조그마한 도시에 사는 사람들이 큰 도로로 나갈 수 있도록 ... 그래야, 농민들도 농작물을 쉽게 운송할 수 있다. 2차선으로 된 루트 66은 황량한 사막을 끝없이 이어간다. 루트 66이 오클라호마 땅 640킬로미터를 지나가기 때문에, ‘루트 66 박물관’은 오클라호마 클린턴에 세워졌다. 지금까지 수 십 명의 아티스트가 ‘루트 66’이라는 노래를 녹음했다. >
<66번도로(Route 66)가 개통된 것은 1926년의 일이다. 시카고와 LA를 잇는 대륙간 포장도로로 빛을 본 것은 이로부터 11년후인 1937년. 하지만 66번도로의 역사는 이보다 훨씬 전으로 거슬러 올라간다. 최초의 대륙횡단도로 가운데 하나인 ‘올드 트레일즈 하이웨이’(Old Trails Highway)등은 미대륙 동서를 잇는 66번도로의 전신이다 . >

Route 66 is 2,448 miles (3,939kms) of roadway connecting Chicago to Los Angeles, now used by local traffic, road buffs and nostalgia-minded tourists. For midwestern farmers migrating to California to escape escaping the Dust Bowl in 1930's, the long stretch across the Mojave desert was considered one of the most grueling parts of the trip.

The restaurant has been serving travelers along the road since the 1956. Route 66 opened in 1926 stretching from Chicago to Los Angeles and became a western migration route for people looking for work during the great depression of the 1930's or to escape the Dust Bowl disaster. Later it offered vacation getaways and driving adventures until 1985 when it was decommissioned as a federal highway. Due to neglect and commercial development Route 66, the first highway to connect the Midwest with the West Coast, was added to the biennially compiled list of the world's most endangered landmarks by the World Monuments Fund and the National Trust for Historic Preservation's yearly list of the 11 most endangered historic places in America.
