Well God bless Brooklyn....

When wall mart is the only place to shop in the rest of the country, you'll have an oasis....

They've been doing real well lately.

Do you have a shop that sells Piscasso originals?
I'm making my escape plans to just such a place.

Santa Fe should be at the top of your list.

I love Santa Fe...but it's in the wrong direction. My kids live in Charleston.

Now, if they could just get the Dodgers back everything would be right with the world again!

Taos is really nice too. COL of both places is higher than I'd like.... and it's in the wrong direction.

Ironically both art artists meccas, but how artists can afford to live there is beyond me.

Sante Fe has more art galleries for a town its size than probably any city in the world. Here's a list with 176 of them.

I'm not much into art, but I wanna go there for the scenery. It looks awesome in pictures.

The last time I was in New Mexico was passing through in 1962.

I did see a "This Old House" piece on PBS on Santa Fe and their architectural code is pretty cool.

Going to New Mexico and spending some time there is on my bucket list.
