The Thunderbird Lounge and Restaurant features a neon thunderbird on its marquee. This sign lights up the way along old Tucumcari Boulevard, which is the Route 66 stretch in town. Not sure for how many years the Thunderbird Restaurant has been around or whether it still stands intact today. 10-08

Paramount Cafe

The Paramount Cafe was an old Route 66, with a couple of distinct roadside signs to match the mid-century character of the business.

Unfortunately, like many other old roadside treasures, the Paramount Cafe closed down in recent years and was eventually demolished. No evidence of the signs are left today, and the cafe area sits empty. 12-08

Here's the old familiar neon sign for the Avalon Restaurant located in the Uptown Plaza area next to the El Rancho Hotel. Or at least was. The Avalon Restaurant is no longer here and the sign has been removed. 12-08
