• Devour 2010

    In the three years that SFR has published its locavore’s guide to Santa Fe, the local food movement has continued to feel like it’s tilting toward a full-blown renaissance. But the movement has also found some inevitable friction. Food is a key component of the economy, and the progress of a local food movement is tied to the progress of a local economy movement.

  • SFR Talk: Sólo pregúntale

    When Gustavo Arellano told us he wanted to give a talk and book signing in Santa Fe, we rushed to help set them up. Arellano’s Ask a Mexican column is circulated in dozens of newspapers around the country, including OC Weekly, where Arellano is a staff writer. He’s also a contributing editor to the Los Angeles Times and has appeared on numerous programs, including The Colbert Report.

  • Cash In

    Since the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act in February 2009, the Santa Fe Civic Housing Authority has received more than $10 million in federal stimulus grants and contracts. But in a pattern that repeats itself across the state, very little of that money has actually been spent.

  • “Sshhh!”

    Last week, local dailies and international newswires broke the news that a court-appointed trustee in Thornburg Mortgage’s ongoing bankruptcy case had alleged a “multi-faceted conspiracy” by former executives to defraud the company and its creditors of millions of dollars.

  • For Action’s Sake—First Year Anniversary Celebration of Manipulated Image

    “I’m interested in artists who look at society with criticism,” Manipulated Image curator Alysse Stepanian remarks. “Our traditions and values need to be examined to avoid [prejudice].” As the first anniversary celebration of Manipulated Image, For Action’s Sake is a meditative journey in the form of experimental video.

  • SXSF Transit Music Festival Featuring Daedelus, Ray Charles Ives and DJ Bacon

    Those wild ’n’ crazy kids at Corazón have put together five straight days (March 11-15) of incredible touring acts for the SXSF Transit Music Festival. Luring in so many great touring acts on their way to SXSW (South by Southwest, that is) in Austin is commendable in and of itself, and each night seems better than the last.

Zane's World

For my vacation, I flew to Arizona, rented a car, drove out to the kind of rural town where broken-down machinery is thought of as sculpture and my iPhone is only useful as a small cheese board, and paid someone hundreds of dollars so that I could do days of back-breaking labor for him.

We know the lucky winners in our municipal elections are going on to grueling and thankless jobs in local politics, but what about the arguably luckier losers?

Daddy Needs a Drink

I recently took my son London along to the gym. After I had inelegantly completed my routine and he had demoed all the machines that would not land him in traction, we hit the locker room. He was giddy at the exclusive father-son time in an exotic locale where adults wearing hiked-up shorts throw medicine balls and slip on booties to skate back and forth on polished wood.

Bobcat Bite
What if John and Bonnie Eckre hadn’t taken over the Bobcat Bite in 2001? What if the 55-year-old patina on the cast iron griddle used to cook hulking, 10-ounce chuck and sirloin burgers was replaced with chintzy stainless steel? Where else would the beefy rapture of a real hamburger still exist?
