Last night my dad sent me this article from The New Mexican:
Santa Fe No. 2 place for artists
Santa Fe has been named the country’s No. 2 place for artists and creative people, behind only Los Angeles, according to a Top 10 list by Sperling’s Best Places and Businessweek. com.
The publications compiled the list by identifying areas with the highest concentrations of artistic businesses, says a city news release.
Also considered were the percentage of people between the ages of 25 to 34, population diversity and the concentration of museums, orchestras, dance companies, theater troupes, library resources and college arts programs.
Following Los Angeles and Santa Fe are Carson City, Nev.; New York City; Kingston, N.Y.; Oxnard-Thousand Oaks-Ventura, Calif.; Nashville, Tenn.; Boulder, Colo.; San Francisco; and Nassau-Suffolk Counties, N.Y.

Interesting, right?
Of course one little fact that I forgot to mention in one of my other posts about Santa Fe is that according to the cost of living calculators online, the cost of living in Santa Fe is about 30% higher than it is in Pittsburgh. That's A LOT!
Anyway, I need to get on with my morning. Hope you all have a wonderful day.

at the baby shower last weekend, I was talking to Phat Mandee and she told me there is a colony of about 8 or 9 pittsburgh artists living in Santa Fe now, including Damian Bull Seal who you might remember.

I was looking at New Mexico craigslist the other night and someone is selling a geodesic dome on something like 200 acres right outside the city. If I won the lottery I would do it in a second!
