THE (former) GLENRIO DINER, ROUTE 66, GLENRIO, TEXAS

Located on Route 66 in the modern ghost town of Glenrio at the New Mexico border is this old Valentine Diner. It was also once known as the Little Juarez Diner. When I-40 decided to pass by Glenrio, the town quickly choked and died. Only 20 years ago, this was the resting point after a long day's drive through Texas. Now it's a dusty collection of empty buildings; a motel, a cafe, a post office.
