Picture of the Day - 2/19/09

Hi All, a bonus picture today...!

Central Avenue in Albuquerque is the route of the historic Route 66 and includes several of the original 1920's through 40's-era buildings. Most have been transformed into an eclectic set of more modern shops, but the style downtown remains. One exception was encountered during my walk around the downtown area tonight. I came across The Library Bar & Grill, which recently opened in 2005 and includes an unusual set of "books" as a part of its storefront. You may have to enlarge to read the titles.

To redeem myself for including such a modern photo as above during a discussion of old Route 66, I had dinner of wonderful New Mexican food at Lindy's Diner, which has been in continuous operation since the 1920s.
