After World War II, the main road through Joplin was designated as part of U.S. route 66. Today, the decommissioned Route 66 passes through Joplin as 7th Street, and the town makes the most of it. It's a great stop for any Route 66 fans.

We had a great lunch at Norma's Diner, 1901 S. Main Street.
Just down the road we found the 1933 hideout of Bonnie and Clyde. They spent a few weeks here in 1933, robbed some businesses and killed a couple of people. They escaped that time. The apartment is now an Airbnb so you can rent it if you'd like (215 W. 34th Street).
This seems like a much smarter idea than how the owner of the Walter White house in Albuquerque is handling the fame of the house, doing everything she can to prevent decent photos of the house. Maybe rent it out instead and I'm sure you'd be much happier 😉
About 20 minutes away you can find the OK-KS-MO Tri-State Marker (1183 S.E. 118th Street, Joplin).
It may not be the Four Corners but it was still a fun find 😊
