Crazy Fox - Santa Fe

Crazy Fox street view downtown Santa Fe, NM in Santa Fe Village.

Crazy Fox has been in the same building for almost 30 years now.  The "Village" as it is called is an old car dealership that was converted to the first Santa Fe mall in the early seventies.  It is a funky mix of old time local small business.   The history of the building and its tenants would make a great blog in and of itself.

There are very few shops in Santa Fe that have been in the same location and under the same ownership for 30 years ... Crazy Fox is one of them.  

This Blog will feature both the story of Crazy Fox and the story of small clothing stores in Santa Fe - "The City Different."
