Today is the last day at the Legal Tender restaurant, bar, dance hall and meeting place near my home in Lamy, New Mexico. A misguided “museum” Board of Directors decided to close it. The restaurant will close tonight and the hitching post will be removed Wednesday. A sad day.
So instead of a wake on the last day it was a celebration. I’m estimating 1,000 people came over the course of the day to drink, eat, drink, dance, drink, meet with friends, and then have a drink. You had to park as far away as the church and more people were coming. It was wonderful. Progress – not. We’ll miss you!
Here are a few pictures for history.
