I am looking for more detailed photos of the Franciscan Hotel. I have several postcards, but would also like to find interior photos. I have looked at both libraries Downtown and have not had much luck. Is there anyone who knows another place to look?
raymond castro commented on raymond castro's blog post franciscan info"I believe that originally it was spelled with the extra r, Alburquerque. Didn't the mayor want it written this way on buses?"
Ron Da Bomb commented on raymond castro's blog post franciscan info"not only the extra R, but an E in lieu of a U. "ALBERQUERQUE". Cool. I Googled it. Seems to be a prevalent misspelling of our city."
