Neon Spotlight at Tucumcari Museum Sparks Route 66 Pride
Johnnie Meier led a neon lighting workshop at the Tucumcari Historical Museum annex during the museum’s 50th anniversary events. He highlighted preservation of Route 66 neon signs, criticizing losses like the Paradise Motel sign and urging local landmark protections and local government action to relight historic signs. Attendance waned due to heat, with 107 degrees reported the day before.
