WEDDING VOWS LAST NIGHT IN RENOVATED MARKET SQUARE; AND GOODBYE FROM A SMALL BUSINESS WOMAN FORCED OUT

(Ed.'s Note: The renovated Market Square downtown has now become a site for social occasions, as can be seen n this photo sent us by one of our seven readers. We don't have the name of the groom and bride, although we suspect they said their wedding vows just down the street at the Immaculate Conception Cathedral. 

Everyone should do this at least one time, or more, if they want to get it right.

Still, the fact that Market Square has evolved from a meat an produce center to the seat of municipal government, a cantina strip, and back to a center of social events is encouraging to some, but it has come at a price, with some small businesses such as a beauty shops and bars having to move out as the city pushes forward its renovation plans.

We expect that its renovation (at a cost borne by city taxpayers) will be touted as some of the accomplishments by incumbents running for reelection. But that is neither here nor there for this couple who later is said to have gone over to The Library at La Rioja for libations after having pledged their lives to each other. Great photo. Thanks!)
