Holsapple: Movie Night Is Back In Los Alamos!
By KEVIN HOLSAPPLE
Los Alamos
Tuesday was a red-letter day for me. Movie night in Los Alamos was back! My wife Kris and I stopped for a beer at the Tub, a spicy tuna roll (and other good stuff) at Origami and made our way over to Sala to see “You Resemble Me’ – a well-made independent film about a difficult life lived far away.

It was pretty easy. We bought our tickets ahead of time online at the Sala website (sala.losalamos.com) but we could have just shown up and bought them Read More

Two to three tiny cubs are born with closed eyes, hairless and helpless, utterly dependent on their mom. The entire family spends much of the winter snoozing, the mother waking frequently to care for her babies, then returning to slumber. The whole family emerges from the den Read More
