The Wrap
Las Cruces has its own Mother Road moment. U.S. Route 80 ran straight through town on Picacho Avenue from Nov. 11, 1926, until it was decommissioned in New Mexico in 1991. Its glamorous nickname was "Broadway of America," and during the Great Depression Picacho picked up another: "Little Oklahoma." Route 66 has nothing on that.
