The Old Photos Blog has been running pictures taken in Pie Town, New Mexico, from this past May 31st to June 4th. They are vintage 1940 shots, some of which I had seen in the February 2005 Smithsonian Magazine.
Back in the 1920s, Clyde Norman started selling dried apple pie (?) on the Coast-to-Coast Highway, which later became US-60. Word got around that he had the best pies around and the settlement became known as Pie Town.
You can view the pictures at http://oldphotos.blogspot.com
Other pictures and history of Pie Town can be found at www.pietown.com. They also have the Smithsonian article here.
Mark September 12th on your calendar for the 29th annual Pie Festival, featuring you-know-what.

RoadDog's RoadLog Blog: Being my travels down those great two lane highways of this nation as well as news I learn about them from media sources. Since I'm also very interested in historic preservation, there will be a lot of that as well.
The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.
