get your kicks on route 66

 

There are still glimpses of the past glamour of road travel on Route 66 to be found on Central Avenue.  The motels of the 1940s and 50s are being razed, although the signs remain - a good historic decision.  The neon sign at the El Don is one of eight in Albuquerque on the New Mexico Register of Cultural Properties.  You can still stay there - close to Old Town -- and they advertise cheap daily and weekly rates.
