On today's program we visit with Connie Loveland, director of Tucumcari Main Street in Tucumcari, New Mexico. Her infectious enthusiasm, and passion for making a difference in her home town, is inspiring.
In this conversation we discussed the Route 66 centennial as an opportunity for community development. And we talked about building a sense of community as well as a network of cooperative partnerships, a century old railroad depot as a catalyst for historic district revitalization, theatre renovation, upcoming events, and why Tucumcari is fast becoming a destination.
The vintage advertising campaign "Tucumcari Tonight" is now "Tucumcari Two Nights." Discover Tucumcari on this episode of Coffee With Jim sponsored in part by the iconic Wagon Wheel Motel in Cuba, Missour.
It is also sponsored by Uranus Fudge Company & General Store, RouteTrip USA, the bespoke road trip holiday specialist for an adventure in the United States or Canada and the Roadrunner Lodge Motel in Tucumcari.
