The Matador skyline has changed with the razing of the building on the corner of Main and Bailey Streets. Growing up and visiting Matador grandparents, I remember pulling into the corner drive of CR’s station. I was always a little afraid that Dad could not maneuver the turn into the drive, but he always made it. We would get full service and a bit of local information.
