The C & W Cafe was once a popular diner along Route 66 in Carthage, Missouri.

One block north of the Boots Motel stands the remains of another old tourist court – the Dazy Apartments and Sleeping Rooms. While its obvious that the Dazy has seen much better days, it still appears to remain in use today.

Carthage is also home to one of the few surviving drive-in theaters left in America. Thanks to the efforts of Mark and Dixie Goodman, this old drive-in has not gone the way of most of these old icons. When the Goodmans bought the historic drive-in, it was in a state of much disrepair, however, they have brought this old theatre back to life.

Just before you reach Webb City, you will pass through the small town of Carterville, another lead mining town of the region. Once prosperous, the town declined following World War I and never recovered like its nearby neighbors of Webb City and Joplin.
