    [narrative] => Commerce is a mining community that was Mickey Mantle's hometown. You can see his boyhood residence at 319 S Quincy St. There is a plaque on the front door with some interesting information about his boyhood. 





Surprisingly, although there is a Mickey Mantle Boulevard and  statue of The Mick at Mickey Mantle Field, Commerce has not capitalized on his fame.  There was a movement to build a Mickey Mantle Museum, but it apparently was decided it needed to be in a bigger town (aka, it would have been too expensive to build and operate in Commerce). 





Nonetheless, Commerce has quite a bit of Route 66 to see.  There is a 1925 Marathon Station, and across the street, a vintage Dairy King. 





In April 1934, Bonnie and Clyde killed Commerce police officer William
Campbell at present day E 60 Rd and Tahoe Drive. Former Commerce
resident Doyle Alsbury saw it happen when he was a boy and later painted
a sign on the road to mark the spot. Bonnie and Clyde were were killed a
month after the shooting.





There is a local motorcycle shop called Bike Go.
