    My favorite place!!! I was planning on moving here (from Kansas City) right before covid hit. Unfortunately, all my plans got put on hold. And the place I was going to buy has since sold. But, I really appreciate you doing this tour and uploading it. I loved seeing the city square again. I can't be there now so this is the next best thing. I needed my Santa Fe fix today. Thank you :)

    New mexico is honestly more my taste than arizona. Only problem is the job situation in NM. It's hard to find a decent job in my field unless you work for NMSU or work in cannabis industry. I'm considering both. Cost of living similar to Mississippi.
    Great video as always man. Dang, you've been across the southern border and Eastern seaboard of the US. that's an awesome trip. Long way, don't think people not from US understand how far that is.

    JEJEJ that little stream you saw is actually what was once known as the SANTA FE RIVER. When i was a child in the 70's that river was raging. it was beautiful . As you saw it is now what many would call a stream. it has been this way for .. many years at least over 20 years. There was a time a few years ago it had rained and snowed quite a bit and once again Santa Fe, had its river. The river comes from the Sangre de Cristos and flows through downtown Santa Fe into the Rio Grande. Oh yeah. most people don/t realize what i am about to share with you , But Gallup NM is a HUGE HUGE HUGE arts city. Soe might say its art culture is larger than Santa Fe. I have been working in the artistry field for over 30 years . But have been around fine art my whole life. I don/t know where you are from , but if you ever get the chance to come this way again. To a quick trip to Gallup. There are some great art shows that run the whole month of August . And every 2nd weekend or ... well i/lm not sure but every other mystery day they hold inter-tribal indian ceremonial .. I seriously recommend you check out the tiny little town with the HUGE ARts t Culture. oh one more thing those "Santa Fe Style" Homes you mention are more commonly called . known as "Adobe Style actually many of those are actually adobe, mud and straw, a technique learned from the natives here.. keeps warm in the winter and cool in the summer. Santa Fe ,must keep with in the city ordinance . No buildings higher than 3 stores.. or so many ft. most structures m must keep the original style .. which is that of the Native .. adobe. .. Yeah we have kept many Native AMerican and the Spanish customs. Santa Fe has tight ordinances that state how the homes at least a certain percentage of them Must keep to the original Native architecture style ( adobe) the building Must not exceed 3 or 4 stories high which derives from the (Spanish conquistadors) just We must keep our yard with xeriscape gardens. Those are just a few. But i thought i'd let correct some of your information because you like the town so much i thought these little bits would make you LOVE IT even more. , THE CITY DIFFERENT .. yup enough to come back and visit Gallup . jejeje after all it does add a little more beauty to our Land of Enchantment .. stay safe Island Hopper

    SF is my favorite 'chill' city. It's a great base to explore northern NM like Taos and Red Rivet. I have to eat at Tomasita's every time I'm there, the local food is so good. Surprised you didn't mention Meow Wolf, which has invigorated the city with youth and new way of thinking about art. The Santa Fe Opera House or Lensic Theatre are two amazing places to catch a performance at. The Jean Cocteau Theatre always has good writers popping up or an art house film showing. Fort Marcy Park is also home to the annual Burning of Zozobra, (a 50ft+ marionette) now in it's 96th year. As someone who moved to NM from LA, I agree the nightlife isn't NY or Atlanta, but then again, some of us just like things a little more chill. Like the spas at Ojo Caliente or 10,000 Waves 😎

      jeje i hear that .. It is unfortunate that with the influx of people from others state moving to Santa Fe, =building their large homes or moving into the old neighborhood and doing major remodel g that is forcing our 3- 4- 5- 6 generation families out . Its sad I mean in my opinion.. So in relation to this our town is becoming an older population. I will say , I grew up there i did/t like it . I just wanted out. well i am now in my 50;s and returned . I MUST say I LOVE IT . Its beautiful , quiet, calm artsy and quirky . I am a performance artist.. jeje but as i reminisce through the years.. again i am saddened to see our long time .. long time multi generation families gone.

      @@michelepastele5347. Hello Michele. Take to mind this was back in 1984¨. Yes. it was a great place to work. Management was great. Evelyn Martinez, what i noticed a appreciated about her is that she knew her staff by name. She recognized each person though a member of the La Fonda .. was indeed an individual. SHe allowed us to be true to who we were as individuals to some extent anyway. For example. Uniforms.. I worked at the Plazuela as a hostess,. The restaurant crew had uniforms.. however . as long as we stayed with in the color code and we were groomed . We could do variations of that uniform. It was great. Ms. Martinez recognized the individuals skills and we were recognized and or compensated for it. . They staff was loyal There was a very low turn around. Everyone knew almost everyone from housekeeping to merchants to parking attendants. It was great ! not only for tourists but locals all the same.
      The La Fonda was The Place to go if one was wanting class. elegance and beyond superior service. Today, the name still bares its strength , but does have its competition. Still its historic architecture and history remains quite captivating. Thank you, for your interest.

    New Mexico is the 5th largest state (by area) and the driest. When I rode a train out west from NO to LA, this was one of the states I rolled through. Lots of cacti.
    It has no major sports teams, but is third when it comes to crude oil production (after I assume Texas and Cali).
    Its a weird state. Without oil, nat gas, and the .fedgov (military bases and labs) it would be nothing, really.

    • @ZIALANDER63

      You missed out. Northern NM is stunning as is parts of the south. Just east of Albuquerque is an Alpine forest with the world's second largest tram ride and the world's largest cottonwood forest runs along the Rio Grande through the heart of ABQ. Abq has one of the best urban bike routes of any city. A simple train trip through dry country could never show you all the ancient ruins like Acoma or Chaco where travelers from as far away as the Aztec capital came to trade. Your train trip would be like walking down Bourbon Street in NO and think that's all there was to see in Louisiana.

    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.
