Albuquerque: Old Town
Old Town is the historic original townsite of Albuquerque, laid out by Spanish colonists in the 1700s. It is listed on the New Mexico State Register of Cultural Properties as the Old Albuquerque Historic District.
The Spanish colonial villa of Alburquerque was founded in 1706 by Francisco Cuervo y Valdés, who was the governor of New Mexico at the time.
Like other Spanish colonial settlements, Albuquerque consisted of a central plaza surrounded by houses, government offices, and a church. For much of the 18th century, the homes around the plaza were inhabited only on Sundays as the residents spent the rest of the week on their farms. It was not until the late 1700s that a permanent population was established at the plaza. Possession of Albuquerque, along with the rest of New Mexico, passed to Mexico in 1821 following the Mexican War of Independence.
In 1846, during the Mexican-American War, U.S. forces under Stephen W. Kearny entered New Mexico and were able to take control of the territory without resistance. Kearny marched into Albuquerque in September to raise the U.S. flag and administer an oath of allegiance to the local residents. Kearny's troops established a U.S. Army post near the plaza, which brought an influx of goods and people over the next twenty years.
During the U.S. Civil War, Confederate troops under Henry Hopkins Sibley captured the town in March 1862 but were later forced to retreat back to Texas after losing most of their supplies at the Battle of Glorieta Pass. Albuquerque saw minor action when the retreating Confederates were involved in a skirmish with Union troops in the Battle of Albuquerque. For the most part, however, the town remained a quiet agricultural community.
The Atchison, Topeka, and Santa Fe Railway reached Albuquerque in 1880, building a depot about 2 miles (3.2 km) east of the plaza. This led to the creation of a rival New Albuquerque (now Downtown Albuquerque) which quickly boomed thanks to the railroad and was incorporated as the City of Albuquerque in 1891. The original town, now called Old Albuquerque, entered a decline as businesses and institutions moved to New Town.
Old Town's fortunes began to improve in the 1940s. Since then, Old Town has developed into a popular tourist attraction, with a large number of restaurants, shops, and galleries, and is also home to the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History.
The New Mexico Museum of Natural History and Science and the Explora science center are located a short distance to the northeast. Old Town is known for its luminaria displays during the holiday season, particularly on Christmas Eve.

Mexico freight train series part 2 - Subtitles in English and Spanish
On the afternoon of December 20th we arrived in Tierra Blanca where we would wait in boredom for the next 24 hours. During our stay we were approached by numerous locals warning us that we weren’t safe in town since it’s a hotspot for Los Zetas. A Puebla bound chemical train showed up at noon the second day and we hesitantly boarded for the ride north through the valley on the eastern slopes of the Sierra Madre Oriental.

Penn Central Volume5-HD
Purchase a Blu-Ray or DVD of this complete program at greenfrog.com
The Penn Central was a railroad suspended in financial limbo when Emery Gulash shot these scenes in the mid-1970s. Bankrupt since 1970, the re-organization court had decided in May 1974 that, based on its income, the PC was not re-organizable. The future of the PC and a number of other bankrupt railroads in the Northeast was placed in the hands of a government agency, the United States Railway Association.
The middle of the decade was the worst of times for the PC. It may not have been the best of times for the trackside observers watching the Penn Central's trains in action but the urgency was there to record on film all that they could before the curtain dropped on the large fleet of Brunswick Green locomotives, even as their appearance became a little shabbier.
The rail action on the PC was definitely dynamic. Eventually, Conrail picked up the pieces -- but that is for the next program in our Penn Central series.

Bike Dallas! Ridgewood Trail
Ridgewood Trail goes from Dallas Mockingbird Dart Station, towards White Rock Lake, to the SoPac Trail
El Paso Mission Trail, El Paso area, Texas
The El Paso Misson Trail connects the mission churches of Ysleta and Socorro and the Presidio Chapel San Elizario, historic churches established during the period of Spanish colonial rule. The trail follows Highway FM 258, a 9-mile segment of El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro National Historic Trail. El Camino Real de Tierra Adentro is the oldest highway in North America.
A group of Spanish colonists left Santa Barbara, Chihuahua in Mexico on an expedition to settle the northern reaches of Spain's territorial claims in 1598. They reached the Rio Grande River near present-day San Elizario on April 30, 1598 where they had a Thanksgiving feast, the first Thanksgiving in what is now the United States, 23 years before the Pilgrims held their first Thanksgiving.
They followed the Rio Grande into northern New Mexico, extending El Camino to what is now Santa Fe and San Juan Pueblo, New Mexico.
The city that sprang up at a crossing of the Rio Grande has been divided into today's Juarez, Mexico and El Paso, Texas. A mission church established there in the 1660s is the oldest building in the El Paso area.
In the 1680s the natives of northern New Mexico revolted, expelling the Spanish south to the El Paso area. They established new settlements along the Rio Grande, along with hundreds of Tigua and Piro Indians who accompanied the retreating Spaniards. The Spanish would retake northern New Mexico in 1692, but thosse new settlements survived.
Ysleta, Socorro and San Elizario began on the south bank of the Rio Grande River, but an 1829 flood resulted in a new channel for the river, putting these communites on the north side of the river. And, as history would have it, now in the present-day United States.
The churches are active Catholic churches. They are often open to visitors, but visitors should dress and conduct themselves accordingly.
