Santa Fe is called the City Different for many reasons, but the Burning of Zozobra certainly stands out from the rest. That description only just begins to touch on the incredible strangeness that is the Burning of Zozobra.

And while the front entrance and administrative offices are not quite there yet, teachers will move into their classrooms today in preparation for starting the new school year.

They wear similar caps and shirts, the scarlet and gold of the Marine Corps, and turquoise jewelry. More ››
The Santa Fe New Mexican
Every Tuesday and Saturday, Doug Findley is at the Santa Fe Farmers Market selling his sister Heidi's raspberry jam.

The Santa Fe New Mexican
They hail from Santa Fe, from New Orleans, from Berlin, Germany, and from Santa Cruz, Bolivia — among other cities. There are 121 of them in all, and they're ready to have their "lives changed," as their president put it, by four years of a liberal arts education at St. John's College. St. John's, which was founded in Annapolis in 1784 and opened a second campus in Santa Fe in 1964, welcomed its incoming class of freshmen Thursday morning with its annual Convocation Ceremony. The outdoor event attracted about 300 people. More ››

Dozens of self-employed people with Blue Cross Blue Shield New Mexico individual health plans who showed up for a Wednesday hearing seeking relief from a double-digit rate hike, and a chance to speak, were doubly frustrated.

"It's fun to plant the garden beds," said John Caparone, a third-grader at Acequia Madre Elementary School. "And what I like is you can pick stuff. You don't work by yourself. You work with a group of people. I really like going to the garden during recess and turning over the beds and watering." School gardens are becoming more popular each year. Larragoite and Alvord elementary schools both had vegetable gardens, which have been moved to Aspen Community Magnet School because of the consolidation of Larragoite, Alvord and Kaune elementary schools. Larragoite and Alvord planted in hoop houses and wooden structures, which are transportable. More ››
Last week's federal court ruling that 14 crosses erected along Utah roads to commemorate fallen state Highway Patrol officers violate the U.S. Constitution won't affect the descansos placed along New Mexico's highways.

Today, a handful of Santa Fe’s fine-dining spots are expanding this art in settings that meld the Old World with the New. More ››
