The Indian Market is cool as always!! But this is not about the Indian Market, it's about the city itself. I lived in this region in the late 70's then in the mid 90's till present day. And what i have found is that Northern New Mexico in general has been infiltrated by some self absorbed outsiders that have no clue on the culture other than how they interpret it as such. What was local charm is now the west coast charm of interpretation.. No more does the plaza in Santa Fe have a spirit to it of the old local ways!! Nor does the so called atrocious New York designed Rail yard, that looks like some bad Disney World something ( can't figure out what they were thinking) doesn't fit in with the centuries old Spanish South West ambiance.. Never the less Santa Fe has overgrown with self centered outsiders that don't know how to let what was, the charm of Santa Fe alone. It's a shell of what it once was and has seriously turned filthy and shabby looking with some of the rudest people I've ever met since coming back. SAD, SAD and SAD!!

Very historic place to visit. All hand made by local vendors. The silver and turquoise jewelry was exquiste. Lots of hand made items .
