AW, SHUCKS
Thank you for producing a refreshingly kick-ass publication. I enthusiastically read it and appreciate your smart, cheeky journalism.
On the food scene, I recently visited the Loyal Hound after you recommended it. Amazingly good food. Thank you. ELIZABETH BERTANI SANTA FE

THIS IS NOT EQUITY
As lifelong residents of this area, we have witnessed an unfair [lack of] equity to our area. Cynthia Delgado says she lives on Old Pecos Trail and supports this; she should not have an opinion unless she lives here and experiences the over-growth and the push to ruin our quality of life while she has her open space. We had beautiful open spaces here while other parts of town kept theirs. This is not equity. There is a push in the last 30 to 40 years to make this side segregated while we endure more and more traffic, speeders, loud muffler noises and gunshots with no help from those who take our high-rate taxes. Yes, we can move but why should they force us when our families have been here for decades and put a lot into our neighborhood? Yes, we need affordability for all but that includes all of Santa Fe, Old Santa Trail, downtown, east and north. I am sure if they had 22 acres of open space downtown, the neighbors would surely oppose it and they would not approve. Why should our area be any different? It is true the people who support this don’t live here. In the past the areas [that] have parks open to everyone have had to gate them in the neighborhoods due to them being overrun with loud activity, cars, trash and other suspicious deeds all hours of the day and night. It irks me that people who don’t understand how they are ruining existing neighbors’ quality of life are making the decisions. They need to listen to those who live in the immediate area and know what is going on. I think respect is more important than profits. BRENDA GREEN SANTA FE

Graphic Novel Memoir Signing
Wednesday, November 16, 3:00–7:00 p.m.
In Queen of Snails, Maureen Burdock reflects upon her complicated past. Uprooted from Germany and set adrift in the American Midwest, she grew up queer and isolated, feeling unmoored and unloved. In this beautifully drawn memoir, Maureen examines and transmutes the emotional baggage of violence, abandonment, and displacement.
