Albuquerque, NM - vintage postcard, aerial view looking west on Central Ave (U.S. 66) - 1960's
An unusually dark photo but some points of interest are as follows:
1. Central Ave (U.S. 66) runs top to bottom in the center of the photo.
2. Copper Ave runs form the lower right corner and intersects Central Ave at the upper center.
3. The large building at bottom right with "Buick" written across the top still stands - 143 Truman St NE.
4. The Ramada Inn (4501 Central Ave NE) can be seen at the center (the parallel long white buildings which take up the block between Central and Copper Avenues).
5. The motel clearly visible at the bottom left was the Desert Sands Motel - 5000 Central Ave SE,
