We celebrated NeighborDay on April 30th, 2016,
in the Historic Guadalupe District
as part of GOOD's 6th annual

Highlights from our day:
10am - Guadalupe Neighborhood Walk-about.
Met at the statue of Guadalupe (at the church on the corner of Guadalupe street between Alto and Agua Fria) We strolled down Alto to Ambrosio and looped back. Wear comfortable shoes and bring your stories, and maybe a camera - there are many hidden architectural treasures and murals, as well as "Guadalupes!" And for those who may not walk, come out and say hi when we pass by! Its a great day to say hello!
11am - Guadalupe Neighborhood Meet-Up.
Stop by Indulge & Ma Chérie coffee shop and patisserie at 317 Aztec St for a quick hello. Meet neighbors AND enjoy the "Neighbor Discount" of 10% off your morning "indulgences" (by the way, you won't believe the outstanding chocolate chip cookies are gluten free...but yes, they are!). We will only be there for an hour, though, but do stop by and say hi!

Special Thanks to neighbor Jeannine LaFontaine
for these beautiful photos from life in the Historic Guadalupe District!
In partnership with local community members and organizations, we are supporting neighborhood awareness and education activities in the Guadalupe District and Barrio of Santa Fe, including website resource development, community events and information sharing, as well as a series of neighborhood activities and learning opportunities featuring stories, history, conversation, sharing, arts, music, walks, and place-based activities for neighbors and families to gather and learn and share more about the people, places, and history of "where we live.'
The historic Guadalupe Barrio is one of the oldest neighborhoods in Santa Fe. Nestled along the bank of the Santa Fe River and surrounding the Santuario de Guadalupe at the end of the old Camino Real, the "Royal Road" that connected Mexico City with the North, the adobe-lined streets of the Guadalupe Barrio are rich in history, art, and stories.
This neighborhood collaborative supports our community in sharing stories, reviving history, and reconnecting with each other. We support opportunities to meet, talk, share, and get to know each other AND the place where we live.
