APRIL 25
Western Motel in Santa Rosa, New Mexico, torn down, Sun 'n Sand Motel likely next.
The long-closed Western Motel was torn down a few says ago and similarly shuttered Sun 'n Sand is likely next in line for the wrecking ball.
The Sun 'n Sand was abandoned a decade ago. It was built in the 1950s and remodeled about 1998, but closed down in 2012 or 2013. The historic hail storm in July 2013left up to two feet of hail and damaged the motel's roof
However, the Sun 'n Sand restaurant, located near the motel, continues to operate and is quite a favorite of locals.
There is a neat Sun 'n Sand Motel sign and I hope there is a way they can find to keep it.
It is always sad to see a motel torn down, but sometimes it is necessary.
