MAIN STRƎƎT: The Lost Dream of Route 66
Photographs by Edward Keating
MAIN STREET is the result of 11 years of travels along Route 66 — the 2,400-mile stretch between Chicago and Santa Monica. Called the “mother road” in John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath, Route 66 has inspired countless artists and writers, including Andy Warhol and Jack Kerouac. Following the path of migrant farmers and others, Keating has ventured westward and back along Route 66, documenting the lives of Americans along the way. Learn more
