Nob Hill & Route 66
Nob Hill is the stretch of Central Avenue just east of the University of New Mexico. Route 66 once brought travellers through, and today its locally owned shops, galleries and restaurants sit under neon.
Discover Nob Hill & Route 66
Central Avenue was part of U.S. Route 66 from 1937 until the highway was decommissioned in 1985, and by 1955 it had 98 motels. (Wikipedia)
Nob Hill was named in 1916 by the developer D.K.B. Sellers, who borrowed the name of San Francisco’s Nob Hill. The Nob Hill Business Center, built in 1947, was Albuquerque’s first modern shopping center. (Wikipedia)
Visit Albuquerque describes it as a vibrant district with eclectic shops, swanky dining and chic nightspots, spanning a mile of Central Avenue and marked at each end by neon arches. (Visit Albuquerque)
