In the old forlorn ghost town of Glenrio astride the Texas/New Mexico state line there is a non-descript cinder block-fronted building with broken windows and no door. Even though the town is a favored photo stop for Route 66 enthusiasts, this building is often overlooked even though it is one of the most famous buildings in Glenrio. It was here on July 10, 1973, that Dessie Leach was senselessly murdered.
In this weeks episode of 5 Minutes With Jim it's a walk on the dark side in the ghost town of Glenrio, Texas.

Life is full of surprises. In the blink of the eye everything can change. Just a couple of weeks ago I was planning for a banner year of travel, of presentations, of meeting with tour groups and of visiting with friends. Then this bug known as the Coronavirus popped up on the radar screen in a very big way and the plans were transformed into one great big question mark. So, with that in mind it seemed an opportune time to discuss reading materials, books that should be added to every adventurer’s library. These are books that can inspire a road trip, or if you are stuck in the house for a while, make the time spent in exile bearable.
