Postcard from Springfield, IL - The Cycles of Shea’s

from Vanishing Postcards · host Evan Stern

Despite its legend and history, like all roads, Route 66 is transitory and in a constant state of evolution. The small businesses that form its backbone face continuously steep odds and iconic sites aren't immune from decay or closure. This was deeply felt in 2015 when Shea's, a beloved gas station turned museum on the north end of Springfield, was forced to close following the death of its famed owner. Yet, legacies don't disappear overnight and thanks to the efforts of many, Shea's isn't just a memory but might be on the cusp of a rebirth. In this episode, we'll pay a visit to Springfield where we'll learn of Bill Shea from his Grandchildren, and a few passionate souls who are working to ensure his name remains far more than a memory.
