Route 66 Alburquerque
Built in 1927 in the remarkable Art Deco-Pueblo Revival architecture style, the KiMo Theatre is bound to be one of the most striking building on the route. Located in downtown Albuquerque, it opened with Al Jolson’s The Jazz Singer, the first feature-length talking movie. There are myths surrounding it, whispers of the ghost of six-year-old Bobby Darnall who died in 1951 in the lobby of the theater. However, visitors will most appreciate the colorful three-story stucco building plastered with indigenous art and unique architectural elements.
