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.

Description
Imagine a City That Remembers grew out of a series of articles and photographs published in the Albuquerque Tribune in 1998 and 1999. This expanded and updated collection revisits Albuquerque nearly twenty years after the original articles were written. It juxtaposes historic and contemporary photographs of Albuquerque to show diverse moments in the city’s history and development. The authors, ardent defenders of the vitality of Albuquerque’s past, contend that the city is still small enough to be in touch with its history and argue that what makes Albuquerque a great place is the continued presence of its strong traditions. They further believe that preserving Albuquerque’s natural and cultural heritage is critical to the city’s future. Throughout, both express a deep understanding for this complicated, beautiful, and often misunderstood place.

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
