7 Days: July 3

Rain, movies and the Fourth of July

July 03, 2024 at 12:00 am MDT

1. Netflix announces New Mexico expansion

But alas no Breaking Bad theme park (yet)

2. City of Santa Fe/Kiwanis hosts Fourth of July fireworks party

Might as well celebrate freedom while we still have it

3. Alec Baldwin’s involuntary manslaughter trial starts July 9, after judge denies motions to dismiss

Which is good timing for paparazzi who want to also attend the International Folk Art Market

4. Santa Fe retailers say Albuquerque’s crackdown pushed its shoplifters here

Umbers!

5. NM Legislature will hire more than 100 aides

And hopefully require them to carpool

6. Monsoon season off to an early start

We’re gonna need a bigger boat

7. City of Santa Fe and Santa Fe County secretly bid to host Sundance Film Festival

Hopefully they at least told Robert Redford
