Culebra doesn't wind nearly as much as its name implies(it means “snake” in Spanish), but it does pass by Saint Mary's University(home of the Rattlers) and the Southwest Research Institute, as well as a bunch of used car dealerships and Mexican restaurants. The portion close to the University is beginning to be revitalized; further east is more run down,and still further east towards Leon Valley near the SWRI is mostly undeveloped countryside.
