Imagine a City That Remembers gives light to the stories of a place that we love not only for its acequias, its bosque, and its open spaces, but for its quirkiness, its cultural mix, and its deep difference from other, more homogenized places.--Dede Feldman, author of Inside the New Mexico Senate: Boots, Suits, and Citizens The contrasting voices of Childs, a transplant from the Pacific Northwest, and Anella, an Albuquerque native, provide valuable insight and perspective on the city's rich history. --Albuquerque the Magazine This book is about us--our environment, history, economy, and the diverse cultural values that shape the complex warp and weft of Albuquerque's daily fabric.--David E. Stuart, author of The Ancient Southwest: Chaco Canyon, Bandelier, and Mesa Verde, Revised Edition
