Pasión, Patrimonio y Progreso: Hispanic Heritage Month in the Land of Enchantment


A world-class center for Hispanic arts and culture, the National Hispanic Cultural Center (NHCC) has welcomed millions of visitors since its grand opening in 2000. The NHCC is dedicated to the preservation, promotion, and advancement of Hispanic culture, arts, and humanities. The center offers exhibitions, lectures, book readings, performing arts, and educational programming.

Several of New Mexico’s historic sites offer an in-depth look into New Mexico’s history of Spanish missionaries and conquistadors. Many sites, such as the Coronado Historic Site and ruins of Kuaua Pueblo, just north of Albuquerque, allows visitors to learn about early Spanish contact with the ancestral Puebloans who inhabited New Mexico.


A Culinary Adventure in the Lush Realm of Green Chile


NOTHING SPICES UP LIFE IN THE Land of Enchantment like New Mexico green chile, a treasured and storied part of our agricultural heritage for centuries. Fragrant and fleshy, smoky and sweet, earthy and ethereal, the piquant pepper’s appeal lies both in its flavor and its versatility. Every harvest season, we begin another annual cycle: roast it, chop it, freeze it, stir it into sauces and stews, and pile it on our cheeseburgers … and whatever else.

“Green chile is such a deeply rooted staple in New Mexico cuisine,” says Izz Rivera, owner and chef of the Shop Breakfast and Lunch, in Albuquerque. “We love it because it’s easy to incorporate anywhere, like you would an onion. With fresh roasted green chile, the possibilities are endless.”

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

 About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead.   The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

Abandoned Louisiana - The Old Hightower Family Home in Dodson

I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it. I honestly don't know the history of this house, but I'm sure some local will send me message telling me all about it (and someone did see the UPDATE ), and it's not as cool as an abandoned railroad locomotive or old movie house but it really spoke to me. I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately.  Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
