A FUN STOP IN NEW MEXICO

MADRID, NEW MEXICO
 

Geri's truck parked in front of  the "mini mall" in Madrid, New Mexico.  The truck being protected and "serenaded" while we explored the interesting town of Madrid.  

MAGGIE'S DINER

 Parking for Restroom Facilities Only
First time I've seen a sign like this one! 
There were portables...but...
there also was a "fancy" facility. 
Vented properly to prevent the dreaded odor of  outdoor facilities!  Flower pots and spiffiness!  Yippee Skippee!


Resale shop in Madrid. 

Resources
Re-use, Re-imagine, Rejoice 

A fun stop in Madrid!  The locals bring in the inventory.  Majority of the people in Madrid are of the artsy/funky/hippieish sort.
Thus ~ the treasures you find in Resources are quite unique!  An interesting stop!  Thanks Resources!


The town of Madrid is a step back in time.  A place of comfort, joy and memories.  The old train, the buildings, the vegetation on the hill ~ all lends itself to the "feeling" of being in Madrid.

The Hollar
A place in Madrid, to refresh yourself.


Why is Madrid special?  It's a great place to
visit (probably to live in) to breath in a piece 
of the past/the present/and the future. 

If you have never seen the movie "WILD HOGS"
do run to your nearest Red Box and rent it!  
Wild Hogs was filmed in Madrid (pronounced not
like Madrid, Spain but  Mad -rid.) 
I saw Wild Hogs sometime ago and was thrilled
to find out I was in the town of Madrid!  
Maggie's 
Diner, the old houses, the street itself, where the 
action took place in the movie.  If you're wondering, 
it's mainly a comedy/at least it was to me!  
(John Travolta, Tim Allen, William H. Macy and 
Martin Lawrence - the main characters in the movie.)
