How about "Route 66"
Everyone can do this/ Anything that resembles Old Route 66 in the US.
Drive-ins, Diners, old gas stations and etc.
This would be a good B&W or color!

This would be great for those of us that live in the U.S. and are familiar with what old Route 66 represents.
I live only two miles from Route 66 but our overseas membership might have a difficult time presenting an appropriate entry!

I'm sure it could be properly worded so all can participate.
Any diner, drive-in restaurant, gas station, tavern, billard room, motel/hotel or etc that could look like it was from the 50' or 60's.
using B&W on a lot of shots would help greatly.

Hmmm, sock hop? poodle skirts? DAs? You guys, remember DAs? Bet this is all so much code to the younger generation(s).

Still it would be fun to have a 50s, 60s theme.

I have no idea what Route 66 is - but think a 50s or 60s challenge would be a good idea.

Ah, yes. There is someone out there that does! They were quite the style once.

Route 66 was considered the Mother Road of America.

It ran from California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri and Illinois.

It was made famous by the movie series "Route 66" starring Martin Milner and his great Corvette!

There is even a Route 66 Norwegian Association:
