Amarillo, Texas - the Cadillac Ranch is my 2nd “Historic Route 66” attraction after leaving the “6th Street Historic District” … painting the Cadillacs is what people do … escalated from painting the Cadillac’s to vandalizing the roads (& dirt) is just wrong … the layers of paint is visible like the rings on a tree … I met “Adam & Jessica” & “Brian” while walking around the “painting zone” … entrepreneur “Scott” was enduring the chilly elements to sell his “wife’s” paint-chip creations … 3 paint-chip ARTists I have met this “Westward Ho” 2022 adventure - 3 unique styles from each … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSelfies #RABpARTyPal #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabAttractionOfRoute66 #rabCharactersOfRoute66 #rabAmarillo #Amarillo #rabRoute66Texas #rabTexas #Texas Saturday 11.26.22 (at Cadillac Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CldhG8WOMav/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Amarillo, Texas - my 1st stop was the “Cadillac Ranch” - “still” in Amarillo … I met “Lorrie” who is an ARTist who makes “paint-chip” jewelry (in background) … I took a pic of “Lorrie” at the counter - “Flo” photo-bombed me again 🙄 … nice selection of unique Route 66 souvenirs … I asked “Lorrie” where the “Bates Motel” sign was & “Lorrie” said someone stole the sign & also stole 2 “Historic Route 66” signs of the road … may Karma remember their evil actions … my pic is from my 2018 “Historic Route 66” adventure … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSelfies #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabAttractionOfRoute66 #rabCharactersOfRoute66 #rabFlo #rabGoWithTheFlo #rabRoute66Signs #rabAmarillo #Amarillo #rabRoute66Texas #rabTexas #Texas Saturday 11.26.22 (at Cadillac Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/Clde3RcOBYT/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Amarillo, Texas - didn’t actually need but a few gallons of gas … I can say lowest prices of my “Westward Ho” 2022 adventure is $2.75 gallon … heading west to the blue state of New Mexico where gasoline will be at least 55¢ more per gallon … I know why they call them the blue states - everyone is SAD because of all the high taxes 😢 … “Let’s Get This Day Started!” … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabFlo #rabGoWithTheFlo #GasStationsUSA #rabGasStationsUSA #rabAmarillo #Amarillo #rabTexas #Texas Saturday 11.26.22 (at Murphy USA #5715) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClblCe1OgKv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Amarillo, Texas - the “Circus Room” memories are many - here are a few smile-riffic memories I noticed I did not previously share … bartender “Cheyenne” gave me many of my TOP “Circus Room” & Amarillo smiles of my “Westward Ho” 2022 visit … “Cheyenne” smiles were shared with ALL customers - I especially smiled at “Cheyenne’s” smilin’ photo-bomb pic as I was doing a bar selfie 😂 … “Cheyenne” shared her candle making design skills (& I forgot to purchase any - DUH! 🙄) … “Flo” made her mark too … so many interactive friendly Amarillo customer memories too … the $5 find after helping “Joyce” inflate her flat tire created a 3-5-7 card game combo where I sat at the bar … even a rare night pic of the “clown door” (since I’m a day-drinker) … so many smiles in such a short time … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabCircusRoom #CircusRoom #Bars #rabBarsUSA #BAR_RAB #BarsRAB2022 #rabBarsOfAmarillo #rabBARSofTexas #rabBarUSA #rabBARSofRoute66 #rabBartendersTexas #rabCharactersOfRoute66 #rabAmarillo #Amarillo #rabRoute66Texas #rabTexas #Texas Tuesday & Thursday 11.22.22 / 11.23.22 (at Circus Room) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cla3wmFOr8E/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Amarillo, Texas - I was excited to find Walmart/Murphy USA gasoline for $2.82 in the morning… didn’t really need gas, but I was at the Walmart … then later in the day I find a different Walmart/Murphy USA for $2.77 … not a money thing, just a Gas Price Challenge thug for me 🙄 … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #GasStationsUSA #rabGasStationsUSA #rabAmarillo #Amarillo #rabTexas #Texas Friday 11.25.22 (at Amarillo, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClaLUpJugCC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Amarillo, Texas - I visited the 1946 “Golden Light Café” to see how it faired in the “oldest bars of Amarillo” competition … the “Golden Light” is the oldest restaurant, but the “Cantina” section was added until 1997 so not even a competitor … the “Golden Light Café” is a “Run-A-Way Bill” LEAST winner - least favorite Amarillo servers, least favorite Amarillo green chili (of anywhere in the USA), and the least interactive/friendly staff & customers of Amarillo … I liked the cafe flair and the grill-guy making grease fires 🔥 though … too many “Run-A-Way Bill” FAVORITE Amarillo places, bartenders, servers, customers & tasty-riffic foods to try the “Golden Light Café” again … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSelfies #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabEatsOfRoute66 #rabAmarillo #Amarillo #rabRoute66Texas #rabTexas #Texas Friday 11.25.22 (at GoldenLight Amarillo) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClaJkxXuHs0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Amarillo, Texas - I left “Meme’s” & drove a few blocks to “Texas Ivy Antiques” to visit owner “Dora” - who I met at “Meme’s” … “Dora” knows “Bob” (aka “Croc”) of “Lile Art Gallery” and spotted “Flo” on Tuesday when I visited “Bob” … everybody knows everybody along “Historic Route 66” 😃 … “Dora’s” business recently suffered an electrical fire and she is rebuilding the entire interior - as a historical building from the 1920’s it is a bit more complicated … I support all local businesses - I buy and donate a bit extra whenever possible … “Dora” is my newest “Historic Route 66” pARTy Pal … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSelfies #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabCharactersOfRoute66 #rabWestwardHo2022 #rabAmarillo #Amarillo #rabRoute66Texas #rabTexas #Texas Friday 11.25.22 (at Texas Ivy Antiques) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClaHLRPuWCv/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Amarillo, Texas - “MeMe’s Cafe D.O.C.” (aka “MeMe’s Dang Ole Cafe”) is THE neighborhood eatery in the Historic District … “MeMe’s” marks the west end of the “Historic 6th Street District” … server “Katie” recognized me from the “Circus Room” a couple days earlier - too cool 😃 … the lunch special was one of my favorite Amarillo meals … the soap started the lunch SPECIAL & was almost a meal in itself … the fish, potatoes & green beans were plentiful & then complimented with a mini pumpkin pie for desert - all for only $9 - such a deal … super-riffic server “Katie” tossed in an extra dose of smiles at no extra cost 😊 … a nice nostalgic building from the car-hop days … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabSelfies #rabFavoriteEats #rabEatsOfRoute66 #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabWestwardHo2022 #rabAmarillo #Amarillo #rabRoute66Texas #rabTexas #Texas Friday 11.25.22 (at Meme’s D.O.C cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClaEzCYur93/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Amarillo, Texas - WELCOME to the “Circus Room” - the oldest true “bar” in Amarillo & the “Run-A-Way Bill” 1st bar stop when visiting Amarillo, Texas … today I met a super-riffic smilin’ “Run-A-Way Bill” FAVORITE sticker winner “Cheyenne” … “Cheyenne” makes sure each customer is recognized - by name, by drink, by smile or by tossing a bottle cap at them 😂 … “Cheyenne” is the granddaughter of owner “Joyce” & “Cheyenne” helped me get to personally meet “Joyce” … the vintage collectible circus flair of the “Circus Room” is 2nd to none - from the clown mouth door to the complete interior, one smile after the other … my previous visits were documented by RAB stickers on a couple tip bottles 😃 … customer “Jeremy” guided me to my 2nd bar in Amarillo - the in-the-middle of night darkness and an oldest “bar“ competitor “Ranch House” (next post) … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabFavoriteStickerWinner #RABpARTyPal #rabCircusRoom #CircusRoom #Bars #rabBarsUSA #BAR_RAB #BarsRAB2022 #rabBarsOfAmarillo #rabBARSofRoute66 #rabRoute66 #rab66Route66_2022 #Route66RunAwayBill #Route66 #HistoricRoute66 #rabWestwardHo2022 #rabAmarillo #Amarillo #rabRoute66Texas #rabTexas #Texas Tuesday 11.22.22 2 (at Circus Room) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClY1j0NOYCs/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Amarillo, Texas - many of the smile-riffic characters of Amarillo hang out at “Polly’s Pub” - the 2nd oldest bar in Amarillo … daytime bartender “Dixie” was one of the characters herself tonite and “Dixie”knew them all 😃 … bartender “Dixie”, super-character “Montana Jack”, pool-playing “Paul”, pool-shark “Chris”, bar-cat “Joey” (don’t pet his butt end - ouch 🙄), “Dixie’s life super-pal “Wayne”, & “Wayne’s” pARTy Pal “Jamie” took turns keeping the smiles-a-flowin’ Thanksgiving night … the vintage nostalgic ARTwork of the cowboy, his horse & swinging bird gave me continuous smiles 😂 … the girl to the cowboy’s right was no slouch & had my attention too 🙄 … Thank You Very pARTy Much “Dixie” and her pARTy Pal gang for a great 1st (but not last) visit … #RunAwayBill #rabDUSA2022 #DUSA2022 #rabPollysPub #Bars #rabBarsUSA #BAR_RAB #BarsRAB2022 #rabBarsOfAmarillo #rabBARSofTexas #rabBarUSA #rabBartendersTexas #RABpARTyPal #rabWestwardHo2022 #rabAmarillo #Amarillo #rabTexas #Texas Thursday 11.24.22 https://www.instagram.com/p/ClYw2w0OQ_g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
