Albuquerque Then and Now matches vintage photographs with
contemporary shots, documenting a modern city steeped in
traditions. The Albuquerque area was home to Native Americans for
centuries before the Spanish came. The valley provided fertile
fields and the river nurtured crops and people. Albuquerque
survived drought; enemies; Spanish, Mexican, and American rule; and
the Civil War. A thriving tourist industry rode in on the railroad
in 1880 and grew with "tin can tourists" passing through on Route
66. Albuquerque is the newcomer among original cultures, located
between ancient pueblos and near Apache and Navajo country. Today
the city is known for its sophisticated medical care first
established during the tuberculosis epidemic; for its technological
facilities, seeded by World War II; and for its cosmopolitan
ambience. Plus it provided the locations for hit Netflix series,
Breaking Bad. Sites include: San Felipe de Neri Church, Bottger
Mansion, La Glorieta, Armijo School, Barelas Bridges, Los Griegos
Plaza, San Ignacio Church, Santa Barbara School, Hudson Hotel,
First National Bank, First United Methodist Church, Hotel Alvarado,
Colorado Telephone Building, Rosenwald and Yrisarri Buildings,
Occidental Life Building, Sunshine Building, Kimo Theatre, Skinner
Building, Southwestern Brewery, Albuquerque High School, Standard
Diner, Regina Hall, President's House, Zimmerman Library, Leverett
House, Kelly's Brew Pub
