Bullish sign for the 1952-vintage Mac’s La Sierra Coffee Shop on historic
U.S. Route 66 — the onetime “Mother Road” from
Chicago,
Illinois, to
Santa Monica,
California, during the “golden years” of family automobile travel from the 1930s to 1950s — still winds, largely intact, through
Albuquerque, the largest city in
New Mexico. Photo by Carol Highsmith 2020.
