10th Street & Main Street

Between South Boulder Avenue and South Elgin Avenue in downtown Tulsa, Route 66 followed East 10th Street even though it ran along 11th Street east and west of downtown. Along this route, businesses serving motorists opened in convenient locations, and this intact two-block stretch of Main Street became a commercial hub focused on drivers' needs within a busy downtown district of mid-rise apartments, professional services, and churches. Here people could buy new or used cars, obtain general repairs and specialized work on automobile tops, radiators, and auto glass, and buy fuel before continuing their journeys.
