Europe 2005 Route 66 Cafe in Pristina

This is the Route 66 Cafe in Pristina, Kosovo. The cafe might not be such an oddity, except for the fact that it's in a country whose population is 95% Albanian Muslims, a class of people I don't usually associate with the American Heartland or a drive from Chicago to LA. In Kosovo, however, they really appreciate the west and, in particular, the United Nations. They should. I would say the majority of the Kosovo economy is derived from supporting the huge contingent of United Nations KFOR peace-keeping troops and personnel whose presence is more than conspicuous in the country. 11/2005.
