A Day at the Las Cruces Farmers Market I really can not think of a better way to spend a Saturday morning than grabbing a few canvas shopping bags and head to downtown Las Cruces for the Farmers Market. There are so many things to see, hear, and of course taste there. Fresh, organic food Our mission was to find fresh produce for dinner and if we found a chocolate covered strawberry and a brewed iced latte, so be it. (Hey, at least we passed up the Belgian waffle wagon) The Las Cruces Farmers Market is much more than a bunch of vendors selling their products, it is a gathering of a community on a sunny Saturday morning in southern New Mexico. You're going to find it here  Folks come downtown every Wednesday and Saturday morning for much of the same reasons I did - meet friends and catch ... 10/13/2013

In the late 1960's and early 1970's many towns and cities across the US went through a phase of urban renewal.  Many old downtown areas were 'put aside' as populations centers shifted to what used to be the outlaying areas of cities. It happened in Las Cruces and we lost many historic buildings.  The layout of downtown changed forever and, unfortunately, we'll never be able to get them back.  On the very outskirts of the downtown area sits a building that dates back to the late 1800's - The Amador Hotel.  It was built in 1866 by the Amador family and started out as a one story building for the Amador family.  In 1878, a new home was built across the street and the Amador home became a rooming and boarding house. As Las Cruces grew, so did the Amador. In 1885, a second story was added an... 07/14/2011

Coas Bookstore - A Las Cruces Institution I love books.  I love to read, I love to wander through stacks and stacks of books, I love to hear what others are reading and enjoying.  Chains are ok but when it comes to being able to enjoy a bookstore, I love going to the used books store. Coas Bookstore was opened in 1984 and is one of the largest retailers for used and rare books in the southwest.  There are now two locations but the downtown mall location is the original.  It's over 5,000 square feet of wonderful. There have been MANY times that I've wandered in, looking for something only to discover that I've been there a couple of hours.  It's definitely a place to plan to visit when you have a few extra hours to spare.  You'll get lost looking at all the catagories and the treasures ... 09/18/2010
