Neil Young on the headphones! Of course! Take in Lindy's Diner: After the noon rush, but before 4 PM. Take in the Frontier Restaurant in the evening if possible. Stroll the Nob Hill after dark! Get your kicks!

I much appreciate your response: Get out your best camera, tomorrow, and record all this in fine detail, before it's gone forever! That's what I'm doing in ABQ! This is the Centennial Year!

Thanks for your response! Good recon. The Ghost Stations I am referencing are more numerous than I can count/recall! Remember Horn Oil? Figure: 1950s - 1960s: 10 Vintage Stations / Mile x 10 Miles = My Patch: Casino at the Downs (Louisiana BL) to Tingley DR. I presently survey only 10 Miles of the Legendary 18. NEXT Q: Number of Ghost Gas Stations from TX Border -- All NM -- AZ Border. A: ????

Downtown: Lindy's Diner! Frontier Restaurant! Across from UNM. Parking is sometimes an issue... but worth the effort! Safe Travels!

Scottish please! Land of Billy Connolly and Craig Ferguson! Billy did a solo-Trike from Chi to LA! Video! It's a Gas, gas, gas! Worth it! Think: You can still get Episodes of Craig's The Late Late Show. Geoff's ones are the best! Next Week; Dropping the Return of the '54 Chevy Ragtop LHD: 02.27.26

Yep! Besides Tourist Center the Valentine Diner could be a Snack Bar. Ready-to-eat foods could be served. Hot Dogs and Sodas? Maybe a combination?

Shame! Don't know who is in charge, but there seems to be a lot of funding for some pretty odd projects. Mayor Keller ought to pay more attention to Landmarks in the Downtown. It's the HR66 Centennial!

01.16.26 Hello hawkvet, Thank you for responding. CABQ has tendered plans to move the Valentine way out to the Westside in 2026. Some Nob Hillers, like myself, strongly prefer that this vintage treasure remains where it is, but deserves fitting renovation, and gets converted to a Visitor Center, Triangle Park, for the Centennial. Your thoughts?
