A REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR ALBUQUERQUE'S HISTORIC EL VADO MOTEL…ACROSS FROM THE BIOPARK… GOES BEFORE A CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE THIS WEEK. COUNCILOR ROXANNA MEYERS TELLS 770 KKOB SHE'D LIKE TO SEE THE AREA TURNED INTO A CITY MARKET WHICH WOULD SHOWCASE NEW MEXICO FOOD. SHE SAYS WE NEED TO PROMOTE NEW MEXICAN CUISINE BECAUSE IT'S UNIQUE AND ALWAYS CRAVED WHEN NATIVE NEW MEXICANS DON'T GET IT.
THE EL VADO WAS BUILT IN THE 1930S…BUT HAS BEEN BOARDED UP FOR YEARS. THE CITY BOUGHT THE PROPERTY SEVERAL YEARS AGO.
