The elected officials not governing our city is creating chaos for the people visiting and people living in Santa Fe. The loud cars that take over our city day and night and the speeding cars and running red lights is an embarrassment to this city and the tax payers. There is no police presence to control any of this. In short, Santa Fe is going in the wrong direction. The officials are more interested with making the rail and art district another Disney park and not fixing problems at hand. I moved to Santa Fe over 14 years ago and love it, but the last few years of increased noise from the modified car mufflers have taken over the sound scape and is causing noise pollution that's unacceptable for most cities. My family and friends will no longer visit due to lack of sleep either in hotel rooms or at my place due to the noise. There are laws in place to curb the illegal cars but it's not being enforced. This is unfair and I don't know to approach it. I have contacted the governor's office and never received a reply, same with the mayor. Do our elected officials ever step outside to see what's going on in this city? This has been going on for a long time and there's been more than ample time to fix this.
What a greedy glutton, he did NOT need that many peanuts!! HOW CAN HIS STOMACH FIT THEM ALL?!?!? Someone should diet or maybe euthenize this squirrel??? Seems to consume more than it produces??? He left NONE for the other possible consumers (mice, chipmunk, elephant, rat?)
I was born and raised in Amarillo. My mom lived a block from that golf course and she had a barber shop (not a beauty shop but an old fashioned men's shop) on McMasters, which is the street you were on before you went down 6th. I spent a lot of time in that area. A couple of places I miss, which both have gone since I moved to Houston, were a comic shop that a friend used to own and a place called Barnaby's Beanery which had the absolute best beans, cornbread (sweet), and stews, and the cobblers were to die for. Last time I was up there, the cafe was gone, closed down. So sad because we were looking forward to eating there, I had introduced my husband to it and he loved the place. A little history on the Nat Ballroom. It was opened in 1922 as an outdoor pool but they enclosed it so it could be all year round swimming. Nat is short for Natatorium, which is an old word for a swimming pool (especially one indoors). The pool was covered over by a ballroom floor and it hosted a lot of very big name bands from then until the 1960s. The space where the haunted house is in front of what used to be the Rex Theater. It closed in 1956 and was turned into a Masonic lodge. My dad was a member there and I was in Rainbow Girls there. I hear the building is now vacant.
