Tucumcari Tonight!

Billboards once stretched along Route 66 telling travelers of the dozens of motels in this small town in eastern New Mexico. Nowadays the signs are all on I-40 which has bypassed Tucumcari altogether. While this particular motel is certainly vintage, the owners have chosen to replace the orginal sign...and possibly the name as well. The base rate of $25.99 is less than one-third the cost of lodgeing along the Interstate highway.
