Tell Me Something Good: Festive Highway Plays “America The Beautiful” As Cars Drive On It

It’s July 4th weekend. Some people celebrate with sparklers and fireworks. Some with cannonballs and White Claws. Then some parts of the country have rumble strips on their highway that play America the Beautiful as you drive on it. So cool!

Route 66 is a famous road near Albuquerque, New Mexico. If you happen to be driving down it at 45 miles per hour or more make sure to put your windows down. You will hear “America the Beautiful” as you drive.

Here’s what that sounds like from inside somebody’s car. (If you’re wondering how this even came about, The National Geographic Channel paid for it a while back.  You can find out more, here.)
