Aztec isn’t the only town in New Mexico whose residents want a vibrant and stable downtown business district, but it’s one town where leaders are moving forward with plans to create that environment.

Spurred by the city’s economic development advisory board, the Four Corners community is opening a retail incubator in...

We welcome in a New Moon on Friday, as we head into October. While we bask in the joys of the sign of the scales, consider readjusting your relationships. This is a wonderful time to take stock and reprioritize your life. Madame G recommends you slow down, enjoy the beautiful days of fall, and show love to your family and friends. Live now!

 

Aries (March 21-April 19)

You may find that your love life is spicing up. Are you rekindling an old flame? Perhaps you’re ready to take a current relationship to the next level or you’re ready for a new one.

Wowza! Gallup Film Festival closes a standout 2016

E-mail Print PDF
Now that the 2016 Gallup Film Festival has come to a close, we can safely say it boasted a unique schedule of shorts, documentaries, and features in what we hope is becoming a Gallup institution. The event brought all kinds of people downtown – close to 3,000, by some estimates. And the city should pat itself on the back for investing in this venture.

The directors and stars who attend film festivals hope to create buzz from advanced screenings. The offering of sneak-peaks is...

September 23 is the Last Quarter Moon. According to CafeAstrology.com, this phase “points to some sort of crisis of consciousness.” Perhaps you’re struggling with faith, spirituality, or religion. Maybe your job, career, and relationships are shaping up in a different way than you first imagined. Madame G suggests taking a deep breath, and keeping calm and carrying on.

 

Aries (March 21-April 19)

Are you homesick? Perhaps business took you out of town, or you moved. Maybe you miss your childhood or what you imagine is the ideal version of youth. Take time for yourself this week. Consider what is pushing those thoughts to the surface and then let go. Enjoy this moment, because...

Remembering 9/11

It’s hard to believe that 15 years have passed since Islamic terrorists murdered 3,000 people on American soil, shattering the notion that Americans were somehow immune to attacks like those that threatened residents of countries in the Middle East and parts of Europe, Africa, and the Far East on a daily basis.

Indeed, the only constant today is an even more dangerous world, and our national security is more important than ever.

We must never forget the attacks in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania on Sept. 11, 2001. These attacks are to today’s generation what the attacks on Pearl Harbor were to generations past. The events of 9/11 woke the United States from a...
