Neat old time photo. Maybe it would be nice to start a thread where members contributed old photos of their hometowns? Any takers?

I was raised in Farmington NM. Went to grade school there from 68 to 74. Lived at the Lamplighter trailer Park. My youngest daughter lives there now with her family. Small world.
