Jenn Tramaglino has come full circle. And she has had her share of adventures from Amsterdam to Las Vegas and Burning Man. Now she has returned to her roots in Kingman, Arizona. And with Kingman Rental Bikes she is adding her infectious enthusiasm to the renaissance that is transforming the historic heart of this desert crossroads on Route 66.
In our wide ranging conversation we talked about the long and winding road that led Jenn to open a gift shop, rental bike store, and bicycle museum on Route 66 in a renovated 1930s service station. And we talked about the power of grassroot initiatives and cooperative partnerships, historic district transformation, bicycle history and trivia, and why Kingman is fast becoming a destination city.
Next week on Coffee With Jim, the podcast from Jim Hinckley's America, our guest is Anthony Arno of Route 66 Podcast that has launched an innovative Route 66 scholarship program. As a college student Arno bicycled across America as a college student while drawing attention towards the plight of cancer patients. After college he worked as a social worker with disabled adults. He began his teaching career in Brooklyn and has received numerous awards and grants, participated in NASA’s Space Camp, and visited Japan as a Fulbright Memorial Fund recipient in 2003.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
