Coffee With Jim, December 22, 2024

On this mornings program we had a delighful road trip inspiring visit with Gloria Nash, author of Looking Back at the Future: Photographing Vintage Leftovers of New York's World’s Fairs. She shared childhood memories of the 1964 World's Fair, and sparked interest in some urban exploration in New York City as well as San Diego, Dallas, Seattle and St. Louis, the site of other World's Fairs.

We even discovered some interesting Route 66 connections. Did you know that the 1962 World's Fair in Seattle inspired the signature root beer at Mr. D'z Route 66 Diner in Kingman, Arizona? 

Sharing America's story. Inspiring road trips by telling people where to go. It's what we do at Jim Hinckley's America, with a bit of help from guests like Gloria Nash.
