This old building was formerly the Rattlesnake Trading Post which opened in 1945. The sun was too bright when I snapped this photo but you can still barely see the "Cafe" sign above the doors on the left end of the building and the Rattlesnakes" sign above the windows and doors in the middle. And yes, there were rattlesnakes at the store in the "Reptile Garden" that was advertised as a tourist attraction. The building is on Route 66 in Bluewater, NM

Opened on Route 66 in January 1955, the building and faded sign still stand. I wish I would have gotten the 1940's vintage chevy truck that sits beside the building in my photo. You can see the truck and building on Route 66 in Bluewater, NM
