I've added some holiday shots from Old Town. This is part of a large folk art nativity scene in the Bazaar patio. (and not just too close with a wide angle ; ).
It's a political(?) or judicial football at this point but the leases to Casa de Bandini and Bazaar del Mundo have been awarded to a new contractor, the current contractor with something in like 20-30 years in Old Town has lost out to a New Jersey based firm (still in legal dispute). Along with a rather controversial "plan" for the area, we may be seeing some changes both in the vendor arena and in the "return to historic appearances" changes.
