Albuquerque, NM - Another Route 66 motel in Albuquerque, NM has been razed. According to KOB.com, the Tradewinds Motel located on Central Avenue was demolished Friday May 29 after having been closed down by the Safe City Strike force due to illicit activity. The 1960's era motel that had been renamed the Economy Inn in recent years featured a towering marquee as well as a googie front to the motel. The Tradewinds look went visibly downhill during stops at the motel through the years. Regardless, another Route 66 treasure is now gone.
