Why I Love Santa Fe
The light on the Sangre de
Cristo mountains at sunset is like a Maxfield Parish painting. The sky
is bigger and bluer than any place else. The air in Santa Fe is clean
and fresh. I really recognize it when I go somewhere else!
It is easy to live here!
We are a comfortable, manageable small town... ...yet, as sophisticated
as any cosmopolitan city, without the hassles; without the
pretensions and without the stresses! Scintillating
conversation is always available with the best and the brightest from
all over the world, who come to Santa Fe for:
|
- The arts of all types
- Galleries showing superb
paintings, sculpture, jewelry,
furniture and antiques
-we are now #2 as an ART MARKET, second only to New York
City!
- World class opera,
music and the theatre
- Brilliant minds meet to solve the pressing problems
of the world at a number of think tanks,
including the Santa Fe Institute, the School of American Research, and
the Los Alamos National Laboratory
- Intellectual pursuits flourish at three excellent
colleges
- A Sense of history
abounds here
- Santa Fe is the oldest (1610) capital
city in the US. Before that the Indian civilizations
populated the area, with the Analco Indians settling around 600 in the
Eastside.
- So many of our properties are historic
- Exciting museums: from archaeological,
to fine art, to folk art,
to the children's museum
- Interesting and enriching mesh of a triculture
community provides multiple rich cultural opportunities,
with the Indian Market and open pueblo dances, art demonstrations, the
Hispanic week of Fiestas and interaction with fascinating people on an
everyday basis
- World class restaurants
with every type of food imaginable
- Sports one can't do
just anywhere. Snow skiing 17 miles up
our mountains; cross country skiing;
ice-skating; hiking thousands of acres in the National
Forest; golf; and tennis
8 months of the year, (12
on the many indoor courts) Horseback riding
through the wilderness, and on BLM land;
and everything else you can do elsewhere, too.
- A comfortable, casual, relaxed atmosphere. We don't
dress up to go to the grocery store.
- Jeans and boots are acceptable with your dinner
jacket for black tie.

Don't move
here if:
You love bumper to bumper traffic and
high rise buildings;
you prefer lots of noise to peace and quiet;
you enjoy the look and smell of smog;
you don't like big sky, surrounding mountains and evergreen trees;
the world's most creative and interesting people bore you.
BUT if the
things listed above call your name and touch your soul then hurry.
Postpone
true happiness no longer.
Join me,
who believes that to really live
Santa Fe is the "Best Place In America"
