Where is our New Mexico State Capitol Building?

A few years ago I wrote a letter to the editor asking the simple question - Where is the New Mexico State Capitol building? The uniquely designed building was inspired by our state Zia symbol and is now hidden behind rambling overgrown shrubs and dying trees being choked by vines. I remember a woman responded to my letter that it had been a previous NM employee who had all of the trees and shrubs planted to hide what he felt was an ugly building. My thought is how dare one person makes that decision. Like it or not this is our State Capitol Building and it should be shown and well maintained not hidden. My husband and I have fun when we are in the vicinity the capitol by asking people if they know where the capitol is. When they point to the building we then ask - Can you see it? Often they start laughing realizing you can't see it. Perhaps I should make a video and post it on You-Tube and hopefully get the attention of our state officials into sprucing up OUR State Capitol grounds.
