Description:

Glenrio was a bit unique straddling the border of two states. When Route 66 was the only major route from L.A. to Chicago Glenrio thrived along with it. With the decline of Route 66 the small town also withered. Interstate 40 hastened its demise and by the 1980s there was a small population of 2. Still the town is memorable for making an appearance in the film "The Grapes of Wrath." What still remains today might make a good black-and-white or sepia-tinted photo opp.
