TUCUMCARI, NEW MEXICO: Paradise Café, once a stopping point for great burgers and a tank full of fuel in the 1950’s. The location also became the site of the Paradise Motel. However, fire took the motel while vandalism eventually took the small gas station and restaurant. Both, are now a memory along the scenic Route 66.
While the old route is filled with abandonment, the foundations still remind us of the past.
