In Popular Culture
The 2006 The Walt Disney Company and Pixar computer-animated film Cars is set in a fictional town called Radiator Springs. Many of the buildings and structures used in the town were based on real places along Route 66, with the Tower Station and U-Drop Inn's unique design and architecture becoming the inspiration for the body shop owned by the character Ramone.

Famous quotes containing the words popular and/or culture:
“The poet needs a ground in popular tradition on which he may work, and which, again, may restrain his art within the due temperance. It holds him to the people, supplies a foundation for his edifice; and, in furnishing so much work done to his hand, leaves him at leisure, and in full strength for the audacities of his imagination.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“When we want culture more than potatoes, and illumination more than sugar-plums, then the great resources of a world are taxed and drawn out, and the result, or staple production, is, not slaves, nor operatives, but men,—those rare fruits called heroes, saints, poets, philosophers, and redeemers.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
