Produktinformationen "Highway 99"
"Before it was a modern freeway, Californias State Highway 99 was the main street of California, a simple two-lane road that passed through the downtowns of every city between the Mexican border and the Oregon state line. This book turns back the clock to those days when a narrow ribbon of asphalt tied the states communities together, with classic roadside attractions and plenty of fun along the way. The book documents the birth, growth, and transformation of the highway; the gas stations, motels, restaurants, and attractions that flourished and declined by the roadside; and the communities, personalities, and historical events that made their mark on the highway. From the migrations of the Dust Bowl to the birth of the Bakersfield Sound to the foundation of Americas fast-food culture, the history of California has happened around Highway 99, and this book brilliantly depicts that history.
