Interestingly, we counted many more in-businesses than out-of's. It was encouraging. Maybe things aren't as bad as I was thinking. We counted 22 in-businesses and only 3 out-of's. Tucked in between all of these businesses is one small mobile home park, clean with trees and nice artwork on the surrounding wall.
There is also an American Legion building (pictured) that looks deserted but I googled it and Post 49 seems to be active. The entrance they use to access the building is probably in the back.
I'm going to keep it short today. On the entire stretch so far -- between Tramway and Elizabeth -- we have counted 99 businesses. Of those, 65 are in business and 34 are out of business. That's about 34% out of business, down from our last post, which was almost 42%.
Will this trend continue? Maybe I am just seeing all of the sad out-of-businesses and thinking there are more than there really are. Maybe it ain't so bad after all.
I'm learning a lot from comments made on this blog, from people who worked or lived in the areas I write about. Abq is such a crazy interesting city. Please continue to comment and share what you know but BE NICE!
On another note -- we encountered A.R.T. this morning and it is not pretty. It is traffic cones gone wild.
Until next time.
