Cuba, Missouri is on known as Route 66 Mural City.

Viva Cuba’s blog started in April 2009. With the idea that some of our newer readers may have missed a few noteworthy blogs, we occasionally feature a past blog. This one explores the idea of how many Cubas there are in the United States. Some googling and research showed that there are 9.  Of course, we like to think that none are as unique as our Cuba, but you will find that some of the “other” Cuba’s also have their claims to fame.

Check out “How many Cubas are there in the US?”

If travel opened up to the island of Cuba, would you go? Some of our local Cubans have already been there. Read  “Cuba, No Castro…Now and then…” to hear the story and other interesting anecdotes about our connection to the island of Cuba.

Personally, if travel opened up to the island of Cuba, I would like to be one of the first ones there. I would like to set foot on Cuba, hold up a sign that says “I’m from Cuba, Missouri,” and have Anderson Cooper of CNN interview me. I am sure he would get there first.

Even though the Fanning US 66 General Store is only 4 miles from Cuba, Missouri, the sign "90 Miles to Cuba" seems to be indicating a different Cuba.
