Guadalupe businesses have begun meeting regular and recently formed an informal Association to strengthen their identity and grow business traffic along Guadalupe Street. A survey is being developed that will be distributed to local business owners and discussions are underway about how to increase business and improve the look of the area. Join the mailing list to learn more at www.guadalupestreetassociation.com. We "Love Where We Live" and are living true to the recommendations of a local elder (which became a founding principle of our nonprofit organization): "Well being is nourished by being accountable to a people and a place.." As a part of the Guadalupe Historic District, Community Learning Network (CLN) has been involved in a wide range of neighborhood revitalization and community-building efforts including repainting of the murals in Montano Park with Carlos Cervantes and heaps of volunteers, as well as co-hosting neighborhood activities. Now, we are also supporting the launch of the Guadalupe Street Association and are participating in and documenting the community meetings taking place, plus we even built a website for the project. Check out the progress online at www.guadalupestreetassociation.com Descartes Labs is a successful Tech start-up that is moving into the renovated bank building on the corner of West Alameda and Guadalupe Street! Welcome to the neighborhood! According to Crunchbase: "Descartes Labs began as a spin-out from Los Alamos National Laboratory in April of 2015. The underlying technology uses computer vision, machine learning, and cloud-based infrastructure to teach computers to see and understand the world around them. Initially, the technology was applied to develop an agricultural model to analyze corn and soy production in the United States. Using imagery from various satellite constellations, weather data, and other datasets, the model accurately predicted yield six months prior to the end of the growing season. Realizing the potential for the technology applied to use cases around the globe, Descartes Labs turned its focus to developing a cloud-based supercomputing platform for the application of machine intelligence to massive data sets. This platform could be used by anyone to develop intelligent learning models to do science on data, and make that data actionable." "By collecting, normalizing, and presenting science-ready data generated by satellites, the Descartes Labs Platform is advancing and accelerating unique applications of machine intelligence for consumers, corporations, and governments worldwide. Descartes Labs is headquartered in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with offices in San Francisco, Los Alamos, and New York City." Santa Fe Reporter article September 5th spotlights South Guadalupe Street issues; "Foot traffic in the retail distirct along Guadalupe Street has been suffering of late.

Built in 1777, the Santuario de Guadalupe in Santa Fe is the oldest still-standing shrine in the United States. Our Lady of Guadalupe is the patron saint of New Mexico where she is believed to have appeared to an Aztec peasant, Juan Diego, in 1531.
On Sunday 5th August, Santa Feans gathered at the Santuario de Guadalupe to come together as a community and to celebrate singing and dancing. Traditional Mexican music, attire and dances were performed all day. Alongside the multitude of brightly coloured dresses, broad, hats and fast-paced music, the community came together to feed the crowds and families seated under the marquees, laughing. talking and sharing in the festivities. Traditional Mexican foods with tacos, enchiladas and fry bread were spread across tables and everyone shared in the fun and festivity of the day. As Guadalupe street is about to go under reconstruction, our Americorps VISTA Summer Associates and Community Learning Network Youth Ambassadors were out shooting photographs of the street prior to its "Road Diet," capturing shots of Guadalupe and providing a record of the street prior to its Road Diet. These photographs are important evidence for why this Road Diet is badly needed. The photographs show program pavements, narrow sidewalks and poor driveways. All reason why Santa Fe needs this Road Diet. Walking from Santuario de Guadalupe north along Guadalupe street to the intersection with Paseo de Peralta north, our Summer Associates documented and videoed every aspect of Guadalupe street. From historic landmarks, such as the church of Santuario de Guadalupe, to some of Santa Fe's favourite businesses, including Lotaburger and Bumble Bee's, the photographs capture the heart and vibrancy of Guadalupe street.
