Heading east on the more modern Route 66 thru Albuquerque, NM...Along Isleta Boulevard, between Patton and Ferris Streets, you can get a look at a large spray foam roadrunner. It is modeled after the cartoon version not the real-life ones. The greater roadrunner is New Mexico’s state bird.
Heading east on the more modern Route 66 thru Albuquerque, NM... The Red Ball Café was long-time local burger joint and has been “home of the original Wimpy burger since 1922”. Well known for its tasty burgers, this place was closed for several years but reopened in September 2018! We were excited to see that it has been repainted and renovated but still retains its original architecture and ambience.
