Welcome back to better days!
This is Joe, the proud owner of the Inn on the Alameda. What has this past year been like? Well, kinda like waiting for Christmas, Chanukah, your birthday, and the 4th of July all rolled into one. You can add to it waiting for the bell to ring at the end of Algebra 3...

Under The Volcano

The Lensic – Santa Fe’s Grande Dame
The Lensic - Santa Fe’s Grande Dame On June 24, 1931, alongside the beginning of the Great Depression, The Lensic motion picture “palace” opened in our fair city of just 11,000 souls. Built by Nathan Salmon and John E. Greer, and...
Day of the Dead
If you have lived in Mexico as I have, the Day of the Dead is an absolutely wonderful time to visit a town such as San Miguel de Allende.
November Snow
