The Most Unforgettable Stops Along Route 66

POPS 66 brought a newer burst of color to Arcadia, Oklahoma, when it opened in 2007 along Route 66. The stop is known for its modern gas station, diner, hundreds of soda varieties, and a 66-foot-tall LED soda bottle that glows beside the highway.

Even though it is not as old as many Mother Road landmarks, POPS shows that Route 66 is still alive and evolving. It gives today’s travelers the same thing earlier roadside stops offered: fuel, food, fun, and a reason to pull over. That makes it a bright, modern piece of Americana.
