Absolutely rude and uncalled for, especially considering my sister did not take the photo as requested and left the shop without a fuss. By the way, if she tries to tell you everything there is handmade, I guarantee you most of it isn't. You can get same stuff at any of the other shops, which is exactly what we did after the experience we had. Do NOT spend your money here

There is a nice porch to sit in the shade but do not feed the donkeys on the porch!

AMERICA'S MAIN STREET…read more I have always been fascinated by Main Street, USA. This is one reason I am fascinated by US 66. From 1926 to 1985 Route 66 was America's Main Street. From Santa Monica, California to Chicago, Illinois it travelled through eight states: California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, and Illinois. Disparate from many of the US highways at the time, it did not travel in a straight line. Instead, it travelled diagonally to connect to downtowns that needed a connection to a major Highway in addition to large cities. US 66 grew with the popularity of the automobile and the migration west to California. With the popularity of US 66 came interesting roadside architecture. Examples are Cadillac Ranch, art deco motels, classic gas stations, drive-ins and restaurants. When traffic increased and cars became more powerful, US 66 evolved. For example the hairpin curves between Oatman and Kingman, Arizona were so dangerous that US 66 was relocated to the current I-40. By the 1960s, US 66 became an American institution. US 66 became as American as apple pie. There was a show about US 66 and the song "Get Your Kicks on Route 66." Meanwhile a pledging American institution was making America's Main Street extinct. It was the Interstate. Gradually the Interstate replaced US 66. In 1985 when I-40 was completed in 1985, US 66 was decommissioned from the highway system. It was replaced by I-10, I-15, I-40, I-44, and I-55. Americans love our heritage. US 66 is a part of our heritage. Groups such as the US 66 Association are working hard to preserve the existing segments of US 66 and to reinstate it as a US Highway. Thanks to their efforts "Historic US 66" route markers bring America's Main Street back to life in many of the existing segments. I have recently been on a few segments of US 66. Whenever I drove on US 66 pavement I felt a connection to America's heritage and a feeling of being in a real life train set. Whenever I am driving from Las Vegas to Southern California, when I exit the fast lane of I-15 for a break at a business off the slower lanes of the I-15 Business Loop, I am on US 66 most likely in a historic area. A not too distant experience was visiting the First McDonald's in San Bernardino off US 66. If I kept going West on the former US 66 that is now signed California 66, I'd end up taking the scenic route to Santa Monica Pier. When I drive from Vegas to Arizona destinations, I often stop on US 66. In Kingman, US 66 is both a Main Street and a I-40 Business Route. The US 66 Association is here in the Powerhouse Visitor Center. In downtown Kingman, US 66 looks like a charming train set turned to life. This is one of the larger segments of US 66. From Kingman, it changes into Arizona 66 and travels through the desert passing Grand Canyon Caverns until it rejoins I-40 West of Williams. When I vacationed in the Grand Canyon, it was US 66 in Williams that I stopped off before driving into the park. I knew I was on US 66 when I saw the bear attraction. When I drive the Laughlin route toward Lake Havasu City, I am driving on US 66 when I cruise through Needles, California . Recently I was hanging out on US 66 when I was spending a few hours in the ghost town of Oatman. And this summer when I walked in the Chicago Loop I was walking on the easternmost segment of US 66. US 66 is currently a discontinuous Main Street. Many have been negatively affected by the Interstate. A reinstated US 66 would connect these Main Street at the same time it would increase tourism. America needs it's Main Street back. The Route 66 Associations in each of the states that US 66 travels through are fighting the good fight by trying to reinstate US 66 to the highway system. I support them. And on the subject of US 66 for the next couple of days I will mentally be at the easternmost city of US 66 finishing up my 2014 Chicago reviews. I'll mentally be back in Vegas in a few days when the weather turns cooler. Most likely reviewing a Las Vegas Park or restaurant . So, my Vegas Yelper friends I will share my local experiences then. However, because this is the Internet you can join me on a mental trip to the easternmost city of US 66 in Chicago. If not I will leave you singing, "If you ever plan to motor west Travel my way the road that's the best. Get your kicks on Route 66."
