Description
I love this vintage neon sign at the West Theater on Santa Fe Avenue AKA Route 66 in Grants, New Mexico. They say the largest star at the top flashes.
J.C West purchased the El Sol Theater while it was still under construction. After completing the building, he renamed it the West Theater, opening it in 1959. It has been showing first-run movies ever since and is the last theater operating in Grants.
