One of the new things on Route 66 is “Pops”. You can’t pass through Arcadia without stopping to check out their bumper crop of pop! You can’t miss it with the big huge soda bottle and straw that soars 66 ft. into the sky in front of the building. Remember all the pop you use to drink as a kid? They have it……and much, much more! It’s the happening place on this section of the old historic road. If you don’t mind waiting they have a restaurant also that apparently is pretty good……we have yet to want to wait in line to check it out.
The first thing you see as you walk into the building is the windows with a rainbow of sodas. Glass shelves showcase thousands of bottles, floor-to-ceiling. It’s awesome looking!
If you have the time be sure and hang around until after the sun goes down. Each night as the sun sets on the little town of Arcadia, LED lights transforms the big bottle into a dazzling light show! An infinite array of colors and patterns salute the world’s greatest variety of soda pop inside!
Just a little heads up on photographing the bottle. If you are looking to do it without people in your pics…..well it’s not going to happen. When the bottle lights up that is when everyone wants their pic in front of it…… You might be able to do it on a week night when it’s not quite so busy.
