RedTop Diner on Route 66

Many thanks to Jerry Ueckert (pictured) for inviting me over to his newly restored Valentine Diner, in Edgewood, NM. Once there were 1000's of these pre-fabricated Diners around the US, now there are fewer than 20. For more information on Valentine Diners, click here and here.

Back Getting My Kicks!

First full day back on Route 66 and I have some great diner pictures and a full belly to show for it! This is the classic Route 66 Diner on Central Avenue (formerly part of Route 66) in Albuquerque. Thanks to the friendly and helpful staff there. This road also has a number of surviving Motels, some still in good condition with working neon signs to match the Diner.
