Coffee With Jim, July 7, 2024

Arizona 9 Motor Hotel, the vintage motel along Route 66 in Williams, Arizona with the unusual name, has quite a story. The first chapter was written in the late 1920s. And now Antonio and Paulina Rico are writing a new chapter with preservation, renovation, hospitality, and a passion for Route 66.
