Route 90 the Route 66 of the south

I love a good car ride where I can just sit back, feet up on the dash and watch the scenery fly by.  I have heard so much about traveling Route 66 but in my September National Geographic Traveler magazine there was an article about Route 90, the Route 66 of the south.  The old school highway runs through five states from the Atlantic Ocean in Jacksonville Florida to the city of Van Horn in west Texas.  This road is famous for the Eisenhower era tourist traps, and as the long lonely highway where Jayne Mansfield died in an automobile accident. 

The following link is a web site providing images of vintage post cards celebrating this great roadway.
