Joplin City Hall and the Route 66 Visitor's Center are getting into the holiday spirit with holiday-themed window displays.
This is the 4th year for the displays, which are painted to look like stained glass windows by artist Sandra Pemberton.
In 2021, the windows featured “Santa at Grand Falls.” The theme for 2022 was “Toyland,” and for 2023, it was "Family Christmas.” What will the theme for 2024 be? Tune in Tuesday night to find out!
Get hyped for Photo Spiva! The annual photography competition is back, and a new mural was just installed at 6th and Main to celebrate the event.
14 bike riders stopped over in Joplin.
The group from Slovakia actually started their Route 66 journey in Milwaukee, the home of Harley-Davidson Motorcycles. After picking up their bikes, they hit the Mother Road for a tour of the country from saddle back.
After stopping for a tour of Joplin City Hall and signing some post cards, they took a coffee break before heading out to Gearhead Curios in Galena.
Over 40 international guests from New Zealand, Australia, and the United Kingdom took a tour of Joplin City Hall before visiting the Route 66 Memorial Park and grabbing a bite to eat downtown. The tour group is exploring all Route 66 has to offer as they make their way from Chicago to Californa. So glad they could stop in!
Come out and experience three one-of-a-kind, original artworks right on Route 66. These 3D street painting pieces are currently being displayed at the Cornell Complex in Joplin. The best part? They are completely free! So grab your camera and make some memories!
