The Route 66 stuff I think is important, but A lot of it is somewhat local Route 66 stuff, like Cozy Dog, for example, maybe in Springfield and people who come to Springfield.
Dennis BringettGUEST
A lot of the books that are out there, they have great information about the businesses that are Route 66 related.

So Cozy Dog's in most of those.
