One of my favorite bits of Albuquerqiana…

Arenal Road just west of Isleta Boulevard, New Year’s Day, 2018

 

Excerpt from 1960 USGS Albuquerque map

 

Sunset wasn’t the only drive-in, of course. Same 1960 map, with drive-in along Broadway/NM-47 just east of the train tracks.

 

But that one is gone by 1990, while Sunset still hangs on.
