Sen. Tom Udall (right) talks with poultry farmer Tom Delehanty on election ocean city maryland vacation home rentals day morning Tuesday at the Farmers Market at the Railyard, the hot new commercial development in Santa Fe, the capital of New Mexico.
He had a good audience: decorated Vietnam veteran Tom Delehanty, who returned home after the war and commenced life as a sixth-generation New Mexican farmer. His crop? About 20,000 poultry a year that he raises organically, processes on his Socorro farm and sells in farmers ocean city maryland vacation home rentals markets under Pollo Real (real chicken) as his business name.
Udall was standing ocean city maryland vacation home rentals for re-election Tuesday. Upon learning he was speaking ocean city maryland vacation home rentals with a journalist from Oregon, he said: "I hope you voted for Sen. Merkley. We've worked a lot together on legislation, including filibuster reform.''
His main interest on Tuesday, at least before the vote was counted, was checking up on the Santa Fe Railyard. "I've helped send a fair amount of federal money this way,'' he said. "This development ocean city maryland vacation home rentals gives the city a new plaza.''
The Railyard is one of the most exciting real estate developments in New Mexico. It's a 40-acre site, plus another 10 acres across ocean city maryland vacation home rentals Paseo de Peralta, that once was a freight railroad warehouse district. It's within walking distance of the Santa Fe Plaza, the heart of the oldest capital in the United States, thus presenting quite an opportunity for redevelopment, once the citizens of Santa Fe decided what they wanted to do with it.
Most importantly, after the city purchased the property along Guadalupe Street, the decision was made to keep four of the 14 railroad tracks (two main and two side tracks). It wasn't an obvious decision, ocean city maryland vacation home rentals since Santa Fe had lost rail freight service in the 1940s and never had passenger rail into the heart of the city.
Keeping the tracks paid off, when, in 2008, the state started the Rail Runner passenger train. The passenger service would have started in southern Santa Fe, not the city center, if the tracks had been removed. Seven heavy commuter rail trains run south on weekdays to Albuquerque, with a reduced schedule on weekends used by tourists and local families.
The trains bring a buzz to the district, which is still in its growing stages but already has eight contemporary art galleries, four community nonprofits, a world-known pottery school, a brewery, an REI store and several restaurants.

The city created the Santa Fe Railyard Community Corp. in 2002 as the non-profit to oversee the development. Events director Sandra Brice says the Railyard is designed to augment the pueblo-style of old Santa Fe, not to compete with it.
"We are not permitted to build in faux-pueblo style,'' she said. "We use an industrial warehouse design. Our galleries aren't like the traditional ones you'll find in the rest of the city. They are very contemporary. We had a summer show here with the newest visual media that would make you think you were watching a show in Berlin."
More than $140 million has been spent on the revitalization, with more on the way. One of the most endearing features is how the unneeded steel rails have been recycled, embedded in the sidewalks or used as dividers of designated park spots.
