Route 66 - Santa Rosa, New Mexico. Opened in 1935, the Club Cafe was a successful restaurant on old Rt. 66, in its day. It was closed in 1991, victim of the interstate that diverted traffic around Santa Rosa. All that remains now are some fading signs and a boarded up building.

Route 66 - Old Rt. 66 in New Mexico, featuring classic motels and restaurants. Except for the SUV's, Santa Rosa looks much the same as it did in the 1950's, with diner and restaurant food to match.
