Mike Anaya opened his store in 1949 a few years before Moriarty became incorporated in 1953.

xOn the west side of the building is one of the five murals painted in 2013 as part of the "Murals along the Mother Road" Competition. This is part of the RETRO-Relive the Route, a non-profit Route 66 Revitalization project. It is funded by the New Mexico MainStreet program and each artist will receive $500 per mural. The artist of this mural is Elizabeth Harris of Edgewood and the mural highlights the store.

x About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
xDid You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned lanes are still there.
