This great neon sign with the cowboy on horseback, lassoing the name "El Don" was one of my favorite neon signs that day on Route 66. The motel was built in 1950 and the sign still works. The motel is located on Central Avenue SW, Albuquerque, NM

In my travels on the back roads doing genealogy research, I’ve seen hundreds of remnants of times gone by. These iconic symbols of "Americana" inspired me to create this blog. By documenting them, I'll remember and maybe you'll find something interesting to hunt down next time you are in one of these areas!
