Iced Green Tea Lemonade (and else) at the Tea Exchange in Manhattan Beach, CA

Tue, 12 Jul 2011 14:58:53 -0700

SeeTheGlobe.com Travel Article :: The Tea Exchange has had its storefront in Manhattan Beach Metlox Plaza for many a month now. When you walk, bike or walk into downtown via Manhattan Beach Blvd you cannot miss it. It blends nicely into the entire modern look and feel of this mall. Competition for coffee and tea dollars is quite fierce in this part of town (many other shops within minutes) so one has to be really really good to survive. I have visited The Tea Exchange several times in the past few weeks and here is my verdict.

SeeTheGlobe.com Travel Article :: Here is an interesting festival announcement that I received in my inbox: First Annual Birthplace of Route 66 Festival Announced.
Springfield, Mo. The West Central Neighborhood Alliance is planning the first annual Birthplace of Route 66 Festival in Springfield, Mo.

The festival is set for noon-8 p.m. Aug. 13 on College Street west of Grant Avenue. Activities include live music, food, activities for kids, interpretive history, a classic car show and more.

On April 30, 1926, officials first proposed the name of Route 66, the new Chicago-to-Los Angeles highway that became one of the most famous roads in America. People from around the world seeking a unique look at American culture still travel the route even though it was officially removed from the U.S. highway system in 1985. Many portions of The Mother Road are still visible in Springfield, along with other sites and sights that were at their heyday when Route 66 was the main east-west route through the country.
