What two cities does Route 66 connect?

It’s a sad truth, but I think now Route 66 is only known by the younger generations thanks to the Cars movies. Personally, I’d rather them not know it exists than have it associated with a bucktoothed tow truck named Mater, but that’s just another cruel reminder...
