Route 66 on Route 66

I have posted pieces of this mural in the past, but I don’t think I ever posted a panorama of it before. The mural is on the north facing wall of a condemned building on 2nd Street and Central Ave (Old Route 66), across from the street from the Sunshine Building in Downtown Albuquerque. I remember years ago there were offices in the building. The interior is split into two levels. When you walked in the front door, you faced the floor of the upper level at about eye level. Depending on where the offices were, you either had to go up stairs to the upper level or downstairs to the lower level.

We lost our parking spots again, so now I’m parking in the block north of Gold and south of Central between 2nd and 3rd Streets. The parking spot gives me a new point of view, and now I am going in and leaving by the front door — an entrance and exit I haven’t made for almost 15 years.
