Coffee With Jim, April 7, 2024

In Kansas, on Route 66 it is less than 15 miles from the Missouri to Oklahoma state line. When it comes to iconic Route 66, the Sunflower State may be short on miles but as we learned in our conversation with Pamela Mitchell, it is long on smiles.

Mitchell is the chairperson for the tourism board at the Baxter Springs chamber of commerce. So, in our road trip inspiring, smile inducing discussion we talked about history, attractions, detours, time capsule lodging, sports trivia (Mickey Mantle launched his career in Baxter Springs), and of course, venerable old cafes that serve up great pie. 

Coming soon, a blog post on the Jim Hinckley's America website will provide more information about the places we talked about today.
