The title of this blog, "The Eunice Burns," is inspired by an excellent movie called, "What's Up, Doc?" If you haven't seen it, you should. There is a character who at one point clarifies that she is not, "a Eunice Burns, I am THE Eunice Burns." We are individuals. We are unique.

Santa Fe, The City Different
Apparently, "The City Different" translates to "AdobeLand." The first thing we noticed when we moved here is that normal businesses had a very different look going on. Here are just a few examples of what I mean. Carl's Jr. is probably my favorite, or maybe IHOP. Let me know what you think!
IHOP is my favorite. Is there a city ordinance that they have to go adobe?
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying your new city.
I have heard that there is a city ordinance. There are some businesses here and there that aren't "adobified" but they are very few and far between.
ReplyDeleteThe Ihop looks quite like a Mayan ruin or something...
ReplyDeleteI like the IHOP one, it's quite interesting!
ReplyDeleteI'm really looking forward to our visit - I like adobe! The interesting thing about Sante Fe style decorating is that the outside is so plain and monotone, but the insides are color explosions!
ReplyDeletedefinitely the ihop takes the cake. or the pancake. (sorry, i had to) i hope you're enjoying the heat that makes the adobe worth it. :)
ReplyDeleteIn Jackson, Wyoming, things have to be made out of wood... so no brick stores, no adobe stores, just wood. It keeps the town looking 'western.' Strange how cities get worried about things like that!
