What's to like about Las Cruces?

What do I like about Las Cruces? Let's see . . .
  • The natural beauty of the area is breathtaking
  • The climate is mild compared to other regions in the country
  • People seem to be more kind and open to each other here
  • There are festivals, gala events, exhibits, theater productions, and so much more going on everyday, which is amazing for this little city of around 100,000
  • New Mexico in general has more artists per capita than any other state in the nation. Las Cruces has over 80 organizations devoted to various artistic talent
  • NMSU is a huge draw for diversity in research and academics
    The farmers here are able to grow various crops almost year round. We are famous for our high quality green chilies and pecans. We also produce globe onions, cabbage, cotton, alfalfa, corn, jalapeno chiles, and more.
  • If you live in an area where the river soils are near the surface, you can grow amazing peaches, figs, pomengranates, strawberries, tomatoes, and much, much more
  • We have about 350 days of sunshine each year--the quality of light is what attracts so many artists
  • There are plenty of beautiful public lands nearby where you can enjoy day hikes for almost no expense"

These are just a few top of mind things that came to me in a short five minutes.
