    Day 3 of no wink from Lefie. I have accepted this new reality. I'm fine. Really. I'm fine.

    The Crystal Bridges looked amazing in the rain.

    Well thank goodness for PBS specials that inspire this kid to cross the US on Route 66! You are a very artistic person and I just found your channel and love this series. I feel like I’m right there with you!

    Wow I would’ve never guessed the Walton family had a museum with such amazing art in Arkansas. I’ll definitely check it out if I’m ever in that area.

    I'm really liking this series! I wish I could just get up and go myself, but I'm scared of not being able to make it. I think I just need to take the leap, but watching you is letting me live vicariously through your experience lol.

    Route 66 reminds me so much of Cars, one of my all time favourite movies. Love the Lightning McQueen cameo. 😍

    AAAAAHHH YOU WENT TO POP'S! I used to live in Oklahoma City and so when you started saying that you were a fan of Neon lights I was like omg is she gonna go to Pop's? No, probably not, it's probably some big city thing... I'm so happy you loved Pop's! I loved going there too!

    There are sections called “Old Rt. 66” that are not part of the regular Route 66. There are little towns and sites to see there too.

    These are some great places to just add to my own bucket list- a thing I didn't make previously! The Momentary is a huge standout, it's like a weird architecture building I've visited in my dreams. Would love to step inside.

    PS did you get a 6 pack of soda? If so what flavours! ? 🙂

    • @Lefie
      @Lefie  Před 2 lety +3

      Heck yeah I did! If I remember correctly, it was a root beer, butterscotch, cream soda, strawberry cream, salted caramel, and some kind of citrusy lemon thing (all diet). It was fun to try them, but I wish they made them in tinier sizes so I could try more flavors in smaller amounts!

    If you haven't passed through Flagstaff yet, I'm so excited that you'll get to experience the home of my alma mater. Fun little city with interesting shops to explore downtown, and great hiking if you have the time. And there's the Grand Canyon not too far, of course. And if you've already passed through the area, I hope you enjoyed it!

    I think Tulsa Race Massacre is the correct way to refer to what happened. Riot has a different implication compared to what actually happened.

      You might want to make a note in the description or add a pinned comment about this... just for good hygiene. Because though I am not sure if it is at the same level as the "All LM" vs BLM *_problem,_* I can't really speak for those that it would concern and how they would feel.

    Aw man, you spent your time in St Louis hanging out at Joe Edwards' properties. You totally missed the City Museum. Could have at least passed through Blueprint Coffee or Seoul Taco, they're both right there on Delmar. It would be out of your way, but Sump Coffee at Jefferson and Winnabego is also a great roaster.

    Since you like Route 66 and old cars, I actually think you might enjoy Cars (the movie).
