This iconic image documents the closing scene in Charlie Chaplin's Modern Times, shot right on the Santa Clarita stretch of U.S 6 in 1936.; click here to watch the video According to the Founder and CEO of the US Route 6 Association, Russ Lombard (much more on him in future posts), "more major movies and TV shows have been filmed along the old U.S. 6 in the Santa Clarita, California area than on any other highway." I'm looking forward to getting out of the car, putting on a bowler hat and penguin-stepping down the road, just like the star of Modern Times.
US Route 6 is the longest contiguous transcontinental route in the USA. Running from Provincetown, MA to Bishop, CA (and before 1964 to Long Beach, CA), Route 6 goes through 14 states. This is your guide along all of its original 3,652 miles. From Revolutionary War sites to pioneer settlements and western mining towns, Route 6 offers an in-depth lesson in US History, charms of yesteryear and comforts of modern times.
