This photo appeared in a magazine with this caption below: "Arizona byways: The Zilly family of Illinois admire an abandoned business in Amado (above).
This giant skull was across the street from the outlet of our small neighborhood. it was a restaurant at the time we lived there and apparently burned down at some point after we moved away. Even when we lived there and it was a working restaurant it was a draw to travelers. This restaurant and the post office and gas station on our side of the street were the only businesses in our little "town" of Amado. It was literally a wide spot in the road. There were only two streets at the time we lived there, each two blocks long. Santa Maria, which was the first street we lived on and De la Canoa on which my parents build a home and we moved to. The two connecting streets made the neighborhood a small rectangle.
Although it has been over 40 years since I lived there when I Googled it I noticed the neighborhood is just not that much bigger.
