Rolla

"The highway helped sustain Rolla during hard times and war, but also brought increased traffic and stoplights, and, finally, new road construction. In just over a decade, traffic through town became heavy enough that the main stem of Route 66 was incorporated with U.S. Highway 63". "The junction of Highways 66 and 63 with Kingshighway became a major intersection, while Pine Street became City Route 66."

John F. Bradbury, Jr., Rolla The Old Town (St. Louis: G. Bradley Publishing, Inc., 2002), p. 63.

[Captions:]

(above) "After Pine Street was paved in 1929 to meet Route 66, commercial buildings such as the Kroger store gradually replaced residential properties between North and Twelfth streets. South of Tenth and Pine Street, the business district was already well established."
John F. Bradbury, Jr., Rolla The Old Town (St. Louis: G. Bradley Publishing, Inc., 2002), p. 62

(above) "In this view past the Intersection of Tenth and Pine streets, Crumpler's Store had replaced Kroger (the latter had moved out on Kingshighway) on Pine, the A & P Grocery had opened on the northeast corner of Tenth, and the main thoroughfare boasted two stoplights by the time this photograph as made in the early 1950's."
