What are some other retro places I can visit in Arizona?
With its mid-century modern architecture and Route 66 attractions, there are more than enough retro places to visit around Arizona. Here are a few of the highlights:
Taliesin West is a historical landmark in Scottsdale where Frank Lloyd Wright had his winter home and studio. Come here to tour the mid-century modern architecture and learn about the famed architect’s life.
Cool Springs Station near Kingman is a Route 66 gas station-turned-museum that’s a great stop if you’re in the area.
West Wind Glendale 9 Drive-In in Glendale. Let’s face it – the once-popular drive-ins have been disappearing over the years but some remain. Gotta love the nostalgic feel of sitting in your car to watch a flick on the big screen!
