Once upon a time in the Land of Enchantment, an Italian immigrant named Oreste Bacechi and his wife had a vision. As their way of showing their appreciation and gratitude to the Native tribes of New Mexico for treating the Bacechi family as one of their own, they built a palatial theater in downtown Albuquerque, right on Route 66. The KiMo Theater is a salute to Native American tribes, culture, and their contributions to the state of New Mexico and beyond. After all, Route 66 is dotted with classic neon-lighted American landmarks land neon-lit cultural treasures. Each image inside the KiMo Theater and on the interior of the theater was chosen for its cultural significance. See the seven-panel mural by artist Carl Van Hassler depicting the Seven Cities of Cibola. Sculpted wrought iron birds descend staircases and chandeliers take the shape of war drums and Indian funeral canoes. Even the air vents are disguised as Navajo rugs. Classic American motels and hotels, and roadside diners, cafes and other neon lighted treasures on the Mother Road.
