COVER, JUNE 29:

“RIPPED-OFF RIDES”

BIKES GONE, TOO

Not as prevalent and long running as the bike thefts in this town. Bike theft deserves a story of its own. DANIEL STREET VIA FACEBOOK

OPINION, JUNE 29:

“URBAN MYTH”

LEVEL IT

Thanks to Nicolle Jensen Roen for her letter. Here’s what I sent to CHART:

I envision a completely flat, that is, level surface at the Plaza, which would encourage larger gatherings and make a wonderful space for ceremony, dancing and listening to each other. On the ground would be radiating sections of inlaid brass statements composed independently by the various components of our beautiful diversity—perhaps Native Americans, Hispanics, Anglos, the artist community, state and/or local government, those who serve our tourist industry, others I’ve not thought of?

The center…? I don’t know. Since we are the capitol city of NM, perhaps our state symbol as at the Capitol building, Or the full name of our city with its founding date? The point is that no one statement would impinge on anyone else or dominate, all statements equally available to the public, and in a form very difficult to deface.
