The city of Atlanta is taking some “giant”
leaps in an effort to be the premier
location for Route 66 Tourists to make a
stop this summer and in the years leading up
to the 100th anniversary of the Mother Road.
The American Giants Museum
began as a fun conversation topic between
Bill Thomas (upper left) of Atlanta and Joel
Baker (top right) with the American Giants
Restoration Company. The talk over
time evolved into a new American Giants
Museum in the heart of Atlanta. |
Add to the effort someone who understands
fully how tourism and Route 66 can impact economic
development. The city of Atlanta has hired former
Pontiac Mayor Scott McCoy (bottom left) to lead the
Atlanta Tourism program. McCoy was mayor of Pontiac from
2005 to 2009 and was part of the movement to turn
Pontiac into a Central Illinois Mecca for Route 66
enthusiasts.
