A local family bought the historic Parks store on Route 66 west of Flagstaff, according to KTVK/KPHO. They remodeled it and renamed it the Old Route 66 Parks Store. The general store is 120 years old, the TV report says.

Buxton-Smith Co. built this warehouse in Douglas, AZ, between 1914-18. As the ghost sign indicates, the business sold fruit, produce, Mexican zarapes and Navajo rugs at 434 13th St. It's one of dozens of vintage buildings in the Douglas Historic District. https://t.co/0fMREATZEi

It turns out the National Park Service closed the North Rim for the season Nov. 14.
Parts of the North Rim of Grand Canyon are open until Nov. 30. That includes Point Imperial (shown here) and Cape Royal. Fire damage is visible along the park roads. https://t.co/r2Nsye4rau

Innumerable selfies are taken at this rusty 1932 Studebaker stalled within Petrified Forest National Park. It's the only national park with an old section of Route 66 passing through. https://t.co/NPIqv0Os02
