Blue Swallow at night


BTW, the Blue Swallow Motel in Tucumcari isn't just a pretty place; it's a pretty nice place to stay. It's clean, the owners are friendly, and there's a genuine 1939 Bell Telephone in each room.

Report Card: 1911



This handsomely aged bit of ephemera is from the 1911-12 Tucumcari public school year. Back then, the best grade was an E, the worst was a P, and you needed an overall average of 80% or above to move up to the next grade.

The Old Court House & Jail

Just looking at this scene makes me want to be more law abiding, and I'm already law abiding. Grim.
