"Seligman is like coming home". This is a comment from a frequent visitor and good friend to Seligman, Hermann Reuther from Germany. Recently Hermann was leading one of his unforgettable adventure tours from Chicago to Los Angeles on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle and took time to talk with us during his stop in Seligman. According to Hermann, Seligman is the town everyone is searching for... the town where time stands still. The main reasons Hermann looks forward to his "Seligman experience" are the friendly people, clean accommodations and good food. Precisely at 7:00am on June 20th the roar of Harley engines started and his eager group departed from The Canyon Lodge www.route66canyonlodge.com on their way to Westside Lilo's for breakfast before heading out on the last part of their journey to Los Angeles.

22405 Historic Route 66 in Seligman, Arizona
(Historic Seligman Sundries coffee shop)

The first coffee shop opened in 1475.
The Arabs brought coffee back to the Middle East. By 1100 AD, they had learned to cultivate coffee plants, and brewed a thick, bitter beverage by roasting and then boiling the seeds. The Arabs named their beverage "qahwa".
Coffee consumption spread to India, Greece and Turkey. The world's first coffee shop, Kiva Han, opened in Constantinople in 1475. At that time, a Turkish woman could legally divorce her husband if he failed to provide her with the proper quota of coffee.
We invite you to join us for your favorite coffee drink at our coffee bar.

"Germans are Tough", that is Martin Ohlendorf, The Berlin athlete passing through Seligman on his 10-week journey from Calgary to Key West by bicycle. Halfway through his journey - on schedule at five weeks - we met Martin, the 34-year old who is travelling over 5,000 miles (8596 km). According to Martin, he not only enjoys the challenge but also the interaction and encouragement from people he has met along the way. Martin is a veteran of several Iron Man competitions. Good luck, Martin!
Frank Fara and his wife, Patty Parker, have released another hit album. Frank's songs capture our imagination and catapults us back in time to some of our most defining moments in the history of the American West.

We look forward to another visit by Frank and Patty when they visit Seligman on Route 66.
