Description
"From 2004 to 2009, the Albuquerque Journal North ran the ÆâORALE! SANTA FE column by Santa Fe native and veteran journalist Arnold Vigil. Vigil's local perspective and humorous insights about Santa Fe, its inhabitants, and visitors struck a chord with readers-native Nuevomexicanos and long-time residents alike. Santa Fe Different is a selection of Vigil's columns, mostly standing the test of time. Santa Fe is ever-changing, but remains a little big town. It is a major arts center, tourist destination, and the seat of New Mexico government. People unfamiliar with the storied past of New Mexico's capital city may not know much about its local community or centuries-old lineage. Vigil's razor-sharp observances on life and culture in Santa Fe-including history and politics-reveal its strengths and downright weaknesses, which many will agree with (or not)"-- Provided by publisher.
