Pub opening on Route 66 of Albuquerque July 13, 2006

Yeah, I can hear the reactions to that headline. “A bar is opening? So what?”
But as Chantal of Duke City Fix wrote earlier, this is different, with higher stakes for Albuquerque and Central Avenue, aka Route 66.
O’Niell’s Irish Pub is located on the east side of the Nob Hill district, which is distinctly less prosperous. O’Niell’s also faces Central Avenue, while many other restaurants and bars in that area inexplicably face away from the street. Chantal thinks O’Niell’s will be a pivotal moment in the resurgence of East Central Avenue.
Anyway, O’Niell’s is having a “soft opening” Friday afternoon. If you’re in the Duke City tomorrow afternoon and want to wet your whistle, it’s an ideal place.

As Dennis Kinch nears the end of his walk on Route 66 for the National Pain Foundation, newspaper stories about him are coming out of the woodwork.
Here’s one from the Daily Breeze in Los Angeles County.
Here’s another one from Pasadena Weekly.
Here’s one from the Pontiac (Ill.) Daily Leader.
Kinch reaches the end of his walk tomorrow. A celebration is scheduled for 9 a.m. to noon Friday at the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica. If you’re in L.A. County, go see him if you have a chance. He’s a funny, engaging and friendly guy who’s provided a lot of inspiration to many people.
