For over a half century I have admired the acoustic marvels of the cliffs north of Highway 4 in White Rock.
It probably had not escaped the notice of the residents of “The Happiest Little Town in America” that when the fire crews of the White Rock Fire Station test their horns and sirens —the “echo amphitheaters” project the sounds to the far reaches of Pajarito Acres and Tewa Lands to the east. Merchants at Pig + Fig Café, Hampton Inn, Smith’s, Metzger’s and the Tewa Market and everybody else should benefit from the wonderful “Joyful Noise” gifted by the cliffs!
From the White Rock Visitor Center and camper facilities … all the way to the Tewa Market is a prime location for a music pavilion inside of man-made walls, which totally resemble the natural cliffs in the background (but on a smaller scale).
Per chance the merchants would see fit to support the music pavilion and even create “listening galleries” across the street from the music pavilion on the rocks of White Rock.
P.S. Remember Opera on the Rocks in the “olden days”?
P.S. Perhaps enlarging the bust stop to include the music pavilion would work?
