5. 5.0 Just Imagine Gallery (1 review)
   - Perfect spot for unique gifts and local art
   Thursday: 10:00 AM - 5:30 PM Coffeehouses
   Cute shop with an array of gifts and locally made work. I love that there is no "generic" southwest tourist stuff. It is all good quality, original, and unique. The perfect stop if you're traveling the Turquoise Trail. There are several local artists showing their work in the cafe gallery and throughout the shop. Be sure to ask the owner about the orbs that were caught on tape, and the history of the area. Parts date back to the Civil War. See more..

    - Do it soon or it will be gone
    Thursday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Spent < 1 hour Scenic Drives
    
    
    Contrary to the other reviews it is still there but as mentioned a few times not as crisp as it was. The signs are gone . I live off of 66 about 5 miles east of the section with the song bumps. I am very disappointed that our state of NM has decided not to maintain this very cool attraction and remove the signs. Shame on you. Every one that comes to visit us gets a ride down route 66 and with no exception has me go back a second time to hear it again. It never was the whole song just a short section of it . If you drive the 45 speed open your window you can clearly hear it and then a short quiet section and then a very short Oncor. If you want to hear it i do suggest you do it soon as it has deteriorated significantly in the last couple years. See more..
