Blue Swallow

    Bronze Winner in Life Style/Travel

As night descends across the valley, the summer nights cool, and the neon illuminates. The Blue Swallow has seen Route 66 change over its generations from boom to bust, season to year, surviving the loss of the surroundings and the bypass of old routes. This tiny highway motel survives as a living part of history for the nostalgic summer traveler who seeks the roadside relics that convey America's passing culture.
