For those who looked at the Haas portfolio, the image of Rte. 66 with the 
Conoco sign was taken about three blocks from my house here in Albuquerque.  
It looks pretty different now.  Most of the neon is gone and the area's 
gotten a bit trendy, with boutiques, cafes, etc.  But there are still enough 
cheap motels and bars left to provide a glimpse of the Rte. 66 glory days.  
I believe the Haas image was shot in the 70s but I'm not sure.  I've seen it 
displayed in a Santa Fe gallery.
