Someone was asking for Lego themes a while ago. I was looking through a book my girlfriend has about Route 66 and I kept saying, "ooo, I'd love to make that building out of Legos. Oo, that one'd be cool, too. If I ever get enough of the right Legos I'd make that one, too." And that's when it hit me that Route 66 Lego sets would be wicked cool! I

Well, it’d be look nice although I know about these things only due to movies as here in Russia we never had much of attractive buildings near a road (actually it’s often easily to travel by train because roads were the problem here for eternity).

It is expensive, but the Town Plan has a pretty good art-deco gas station and a very good art-deco theater (the third building is a bit weak, but has lots of good parts).

Also, what about gangster sets with speakeasies, casinos, and brothels (well, maybe not brothels). kick it back to prohibition era. I concur with everything that has been said thus far.
