The Mother Road! In the longest original CCF video evar, we take a look at westbound former U.S. Route 66. We cover a bunch of roadside attractions but certainly miss as many as are mentioned because there's simply too much to cover. Come get your kicks!

Control City Freak is updated weekly and covers every two digit Interstate Highway in America as well as other roads. I'll be showing control city signs on each 1 and 2 digit (2di) Interstate Highway in the continental United States and will strive to make as complete a record as possible, as well as various other highways. I'll also be getting into the roadgeek weeds here and there, showing downtown skylines and state border crossings, and making corny jokes. I welcome all to join my geeky tour of every primary Interstate in the country!
