This scene made me really miss my dad – he would have laughed all day about the trash dumpster in such a prominent location at a cemetery….

An urban dead end

It doesn’t go anywhere. And you can’t even park there.

Spell Check

If you need a bargain, I don’t know where to send you.

However, if a “bargin” is more what you need, there’s a place I saw….

Picnic

011717

In the early 1980s, I had lunch in this park on a regular basis. I was working for an architect in downtown Albuquerque and my husband’s job, with a different architect, was further up toward the Heights. This was approximately in the middle. We’d bring leftovers, and maybe get a couple of cookies from the bakery that was across the street. There was also a small, independent bookstore with a nice section of children’s books. We liked looking at the books; I was pregnant at the time and like all first-time parents, we were just determined to do everything the Right Way.

The bakery and the bookstore are gone now, having at some point been replaced by a big CVS pharmacy.
