Restaurant in Northern Arizona with two floors of dining
and four outdoor patios, along with Typhoon Saloon and
Restaurant, a family-oriented establishment with the feel
of an Old West Saloon. Another
part of this interesting complex
is Drover’s Hotel that reflects the
best of the Old West with its five
queen-sized themed rooms. The
Old Adobe Beverage Company
features Granite Creek organic wine
produced in Chino Valley along
with other beverages and snacks.
It’s always a great treat to take in
The Chuck Wagon Dinner Theater.
Just sit back and enjoy a Wild West
style revue and The Wild West
Junction’s famous Pork Brisket and
BBQ chicken with all the fix in’s.
We have given you lots of reasons to visit Williams and,
while you are so close, buzz up to the Grand Canyon. It only
takes a little over an hour to drive from Williams or take the
train—it’s a real treat. The train leaves everyday from the
Williams railroad station, and you will feel like you are really
out west!

grandsons who love to hunt. When they came to visit the
cabin and we took a trip to Williams, they got to pick out
their own metal signs for their rooms. Because two of them
have September birthdays, they already have the September
Passage sign. There are several places in Williams that have a
great selection of these signs and I see them in many antique
shops as well.
My subject matter
was narrowed down
so it limited which
ones I was interested
in, but I really like
many others. They
are affordable and fun
and very nostalgic.
That might be the
reason for the name

of the company called
Nostalgic Images,
Inc. One of their metal
signs is shown on this issue’s front cover and they graciously
allowed us to reproduce one of my favorite signs for Route
66. Check out their web site at www.nostalgicimages.com
and enjoy the more than 700 metal sign images. Start looking
in the shops for them; once you have become aware of these
signs, you will notice lots of them.
And, what is more fun than the nostalgia of Route 66? We
have our Flagstaff, Williams, Kingman, Barstow, CA, and
Needles, CA, shops in this and every issue of The Antique
Register and all of those cities have lots of Route 66 events
and related merchandise. The Mother Road, as Route 66 is
called, was commissioned in 1926, crossed eight states and
three time zones. It was a link between Chicago and Los
Angeles and was intended to connect the main streets of rural
and urban communities. Check out our wonderful advertisers
in all of these Route 66 locations and have a nostalgic trip.
P. S. I really don’t think I will be able to part with my metal
signs! They aren’t exactly right on Route 66 but just twenty
miles south in a community with its own fire department,
a golf course, club house with a swimming pool, tennis
courts, a park, several small businesses and lots and lots of
nice people. It is a very “happening” and coveted area with
some year-round residents and many summer and weekend
residents. Call me at 602-321-6511 if you are interested in a
cabin for your own getaway.
