for those who need a quick date reminder, the atomic bomb was dropped in ’45.

tested, of course, at white sands, new mexico.

5 years prior, a tiny little bar that specialized in illegal betting – thus, the name ‘the owl’ – opened just down the street.

now, should you ever find yourself in/around highway 54 – make your way to san antonio, new mexico.

the only thing stronger than the famous green chile burgers, the travel-sized liquor bottles and the cherry pie is the history that comes with them all.

stop by – you’ll be glad you did.

we sure were.
