ROUTE 66: Former Barber Shop


ROUTE 66

Former Barber Shop

This photo was taken looking into the window of the Castillo Brothers Barber shop, which closed sometime around 2005. The brothers, Nick and Joe, drove up from Belen every day to run their two person shop for decades.

They were located on Central Avenue, the former Route 66, between Downtown and Old Town. The building is typical of this stretch of the road with a storefront built on to the front of a house.

The laundry across the street, reflected in the upper left hand corner of the window, is still in operation.
