We are getting further west on Central and there are fewer businesses to count but it was nice to get out in the unseasonably warm weather and walk a little. The worst of A.R.T. was at Central and Coors.
I'm suffering, for the first time since starting this blog, a little writer's block. It was so nice out and, once we left Coors and headed west, there were few signs of A.R.T. so I didn't feel angry about its destructive path.
There weren't that many businesses along there so I couldn't really get angry about the out-of's either.
Maybe it isn't writer's block but spring fever. Yes, I think that's it. So I'm going with it. I will save the anger and outrage for another day and just enjoy a lazy Sunday in Cedar Crest.
The Numbers
Between new Coors and Unser, we counted 14 (78%) in-businesses and 4 (22%) out-of-businesses. For the entire distance we've covered so far, we have counted 809 total businesses, 642 (78%) of which are in business and 185 (22%) of which are out of business.
Heading East
We're moving soon to Moriarty (woo hoo!) and plan to continue to follow Rt. 66 east. We also plan to blog those little east mountain towns like Estancia and Mountainair -- wherever our curiosity leads us. Lots of interesting stories and history! Can't wait!
