Good morning, Santa Fe.

Last Saturday, 175+ volunteers and 50+ dogs helped tidy Frank Ortiz Dog Park at 160 Camino de las Crucitas in Santa Fe, brightening the local off-leash space for the community.

The All-American Rejects looked for a house venue for their rock show on Wednesday in New Mexico via social media + locals suggested spots like breweries and creative spaces for the event.

Crews will begin repaving a four-mile stretch of NM-344 in Edgewood on Friday, May 8 and are expected to complete the work by June 1 if the weather permits (construction runs Monday through Saturday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. with one lane closed and a pilot car directing traffic).
