Western Skies Hotel. Wow. That place was quite an Albuquerque landmark in the 60s. It was one of the nicer hotels on Route 66 and many celebrities stayed there including JFK. After Interstate 40 was built and bypassed it, it fell on hard times. It was torn down in 1988. Sorry for all the New Mexico inside baseball but this brought back memories.
