Todayâs video Doodle takes you on the ultimate American road trip, a journey along the historic Route 66. The iconic highwayâknown for its retro diners, quirky motels, eclectic art installations and extraordinary landscapesâconnects Chicago, Illinois to Santa Monica, California. On this day in 1926, the name âU.S. 66â was first proposed for the cross-country route. The videoâset to the classic music track "Route 66" by Bobby Troupâcelebrates the cultural significance of one of Americaâs first national highways, and how it became a symbol of a changing nation.
