Gary's Garage In 1926 Route 66 was aligned along the Ozark Trail built in the 1910s which in turn used the older Springfield to Carthage road. The road passed 0.25 miles south of Paris Springs, and at the crossroads leading to the village, a small community formed: Paris Springs Junction or Gay Parita. Travel along the U.S. 66 provided income to the town and helped it through the Depression in the 1930s. However the new alignment of Route 66 in 1961 moved the road just beyond its former alignment, and then in the early 1960s, the whole area was bypassed by I-44, which ran along what used to be US-166, south of Paris Springs towards Springfield.

Spencer 66 Spencer is a very small community, on the original 1926 roadbed of U.S. 66, its best known attraction is the complex comprising the 1930s Spencer Store, Spencer Cafe &amp; Barbershop and Spencer Garage and Service Station (Phillips 66 gas). It also has the remains of Camp Lookout, a 1930s motor court.
