Ortegs'a Indian City was located in a large geodesic dome here when I-40 came through. Now they have a large modern building. two story building with a restaurant and sell typical tourist goods. The dome style store appears to have been just like the one at Lupton and Meteor City.

The store is on the NE corner of I-40 exit 351. Chee's Indian Store is on the NW corner of this intersection. The original Route 66 was paved over at this point when I-40 was built.

NOTE: This postcard is dated 1972 and shows the old geodesic dome style building that housed Indian City at the time.

The address on the postcard is Houck and it looks like that's actually accurate, but the business is located at the Allentown Road exit (351) on I-40. The little community of Allentown itself is located just north of the exit.
