I've visited Santa Fe before. I have to say I like the spacious scenery (the nature) and some of the people I met there. However is it fun enough? Are there cool trendy places to hang out? What can you tell me about it? Like pros and cons?

Well, it all depends on your definition of fun, cool and trendy. It's kind of hard to say whether a city that's cool enough for me will be fun enough for you, y'know? And... anything can be both pro and con depending on who you talk to. If you give us more information about your age and what you're looking for, we can be of more assistance.
Towanda will have her own answers, but for me I'd say:
For fun:
A very hip art scene
Live music
Clubs/bars
Great movies - not just run-of-the-mill big-budget ones
Outdoor activity opportunities are awesome
As for "trendy" - I come up short. That to me means "fads", and those tend to be more prevalent in New York and Los Angeles and other large cities. I don't think of New Mexico as a particularly trendy place - it's hardly that - , but Santa Fe may have some places (do cigar "tastings" count? a dive bar? loft-style condos?).
rtunities are awesome

There's zany, and there's trendy. Santa Fe did not become the second largest art market after NYC by being "not trendy." And because it is so uniquely different than anyplace else in the USA, it has long set its own trendiness, IMO.
Santa Fe is more classic than trendy by my definition of those two words. Trendy means current fad implying its going to pass on to something new and trendy in a few years. Classic means its been around a long long long time and not going anywhere nor going to change its essence. Santa Fe and Taos both are classic at least until they get californicated further..
adjective
1. of, in, or pertaining to the latest trend or style.
2. following the latest trends or fashions; up-to-date or chic: the trendy young generation.
3. appealing to faddish taste: a trendy hotel.
noun
4. a trendy person, place, object, or idea.
So, no, I do not Consider Santa Fe trendy, except for perhaps fashions, jewelery...
