Event box

In-Person

Motel and vintage car on route 66.Who among us hasn’t spent at least one night in a motel in Albuquerque? Back in July 1975, Gary Herron and his then-wife checked into the luxurious Pinon Motel on Central, just west of Wyoming Boulevard. A half-century later, Gary now has an interesting story about the 100 or so motels that once lined Central Avenue, aka Route 66!
