Inez Russell, an editor and columnist at the New Mexican, has sent me an announcement from Pojoaque Pueblo that explains why its Buffalo Thunder gambling and golf resort has opened a storefront on Lincoln Avenue, half a block from the Plaza. The space will serve as “a downtown concierge and satellite office” and a gallery to sell Indian art. In June Buffalo Thunder missed an $11.5 million dollar payment on the $245 million it owes to bond holders. I guess it’s hoping to lure more Santa Fe tourists to feed the slot machines and roulette tables.
