The Albuquerque library system had a traveling exhibit of vintage postcards that displayed varying times in the city’s history. That, of course, included images from Route 66.
The exhibit ran from April 2005 to last December. However, there was enough continued interest that the postcards will be on display again through March 24 at the Special Collection Library, at Central Avenue and Edith Boulevard NE, reported the Albuquerque Tribune.
If you can’t make it to the Duke City, you can browse these postcards online. The collection is broken up into several categories, including Alvarado Hotel, Old Town, Downtown, Tijeras Canyon and Route 66.
Check out Gar-Woolys Restaurant in Davenport, it is named after the 1940’s oil company which drilled many of the oil wells around Davenport and it home site was Davenport. It has good food and a Indian Taco that is hard to beat.
