The only thing worse then entitled angry person rioting, is a 70 + year old man throwing a hissy fit. FYI neither need apply or make appearance here. Really people get over yourself! Your views,needs and wants are not more important then the next customer and we certainly don’t deserve your attitude. 🙄

Interesting

Here's another look at the convent in Roy, located in northeastern New Mexico. Roy is known as the place where Bob Wills, arriving in town in 1927, began cutting hair and inventing Western swing music. One venue he probably didn't play was this old gem, a Catholic convent that was built in 1890 and remained open until 1970.

This convent was here before Roy even existed because it wasn't until 1901 that Frank Roy and his three brothers came to the area from Canada and Frank established a post office a little to the northwest. He then moved the PO to be closer to the El Paso & Southwestern Railroad as it was laying track in northeastern NM. From there, Roy grew until the Dust Bowl arrived, dark days from which it has never truly recovered.

I believe for awhile there was nowhere to eat in Roy, but Lonita's Cafe opened a couple years back. The internet says they're still serving take out given Covid-19, but perhaps someone can give us an update. Also, Roy is the only place to get gas in all of Harding County's 2,000+ square miles.
