Description
Erick, Oklahoma is a must-visit on Route 66 as it boasts several show stoppers, such as the Sandhills Curiosity Shop. This shop is located just one block south of Roger Miller Boulevard in Erick's oldest building, the old City Meat Market. Harley and Annabelle Russell are the current owners of the shop, who call themselves the Mediocre Musicians. The shop is packed with all sorts of things and has authentic metal signs from industries and products of bygone eras decorating the outside.
Roger Miller, the singer/songwriter, who is famous for his song "King of the Road," as well as Sheb Wooley, who played Pete Nolan on the old TV series "Rawhide" and wrote and sang the famous song "Purple People Eater," are both from Erick.
Route 66 is still alive and kicking, and traveling along her winding cracked pavement is a great way to discover the America of our parents and grandparents. It's the America that we thought was gone.
