I always wanted to know where such an exotic excitingly named place as TUCUMCARI was . . . . .

THE AMERICAN DREAM

And I guess I knew it was on Route 66 but I had rose tinted spectacles when first hearing about the music and places of the USA. I still had them when first visiting places like San Francisco and finally New York that came as a revelation and were truly great . . . no need to make it great again Lil Donny Drumpf! 

Now in my head it all looks like this

ROUTE 66

I guess it may not be like this now ( or certainly parts may have improved but this depressed me no end!)

no credit given! If you know otherwise please let me know and I will post the source and photographer

again think I found it and its from

Dead Motels USA

Written by the legend that was Lowell George
