Loretta Swit and Ed Asner Perform in Las Cruces, New Mexico   Lately I've been including a link to New Mexico State University's Department of Theatre Arts in my local blog posts. One of the reasons I do this is to promote support for the arts and the recently constructed state-of-the-art Center for the Arts building and Medoff Theatre which recently hosted two Hollywood heavy weights. Yesterday I had the unique pleasure of seeing two enormous acting talents perform on this new stage in the play, Eleanor and FDR. The two-act play featured Hollywood legends, Ed Asner and Loretta Swit.  The play is an adaptation of two seperate one-person shows, FDR, based on the play Sunrise at Campobello by Dore Schary and Eleanor, based on the play Eleanor Rossevelt, Her Secret Journey by Rhoda Lerman....

Your Trash Man Did What? I've read quite a few blogs lately that have mentioned an exceptional service they received from a local company. Sometimes it's a restaurant. Sometimes it's a grocery store. But when was the last time someone paid a complement to the guy that comes to get your trash? Yesterday morning, trash day, I was sitting in my home office typing away as I do every morning at that time. It was like a normal day for the most part, only it was MLK Day and there was a feeling of it's-a-day-off. (even though there's no such thing for real estate professionals) Suddenly I heard it, that noise that we all know - the trash truck was coming. Normally not something that would cause much of a stir. This is an event that generally captures more attention from my Brittany Spaniel, and...

Las Cruces Restaurants: Local Favorites - Santorini   Las Cruces is worlds away from Greece but that doesn't mean we can't get a great chicken shawarma if the mood should strike.  Santorini, a local favorite for Greek food, can be found on University Ave. in Las Cruces, N.M. across the street from New Mexico State University. Santorini menu features a variety of Greek favorites like falafel, fattoush and shawarma. The food is fresh and delicious and the service at Santorini is consistently friendly and prompt. I have always been greeted with a smile when I walk in this place. Boy, does that make a difference or what? If you haven't eaten at Santorini, you just haven't eaten Greek in Las Cruces. Santorini is located directly across the street from the new state-of-the-art performing arts...

It was a record setting year in the Las Cruces real estate market as prices continue to rise to new highs as well as a significant reduction in inventory. What does this all mean? It means that the market recovery we saw in 2012 continued strong into 2013 and is projected to continue into 2014. Here are some of the highlights for 2013!

Las Cruces Mexican Food Restaurants: Local Favorites   There are hundreds of fine eating establishments in the Las Cruces area. Dozens of chain restaurants can be found in the city center. But the real culinary story of these parts is our fresh, homemade Mexican food. I've seen eating establishments come and go. The ones that have stuck around tend to be the small mom and pop places offering no frills,  just fantastic homemade Mexican food that you can't get any where else. You think you know it. You think you've had it. But trust me on this, if you haven't eaten at a Las Cruces Mexican restaurant, you just haven't eaten Mexican food. Maybe it's our access to fresh Hatch chile. Maybe it's the family recipes carried down from generations. One thing is for certain, Mexican food here is mu...

Las Cruces N.M. Day Trips: Silver City There's so much to do and see around the Las Cruces area. One of my favorite things to do is to take a day trip to one of the many fantastic and beautiful towns in the southern part of New Mexico. One such town is Silver City, New Mexico.  On a lazy Sunday afternoon we gathered up the in-laws visiting from Ohio and hit the road, heading west to Caballo Lake for a wonderful day trip to Silver City. At Caballo Lake we jumped onto Highway 152 and headed up the edge of the Gila Wilderness. On your way to Silver City you almost have to stop at the quaint little town of Hillsboro, New Mexico. You could stop by the cafe and have breakfast, or lunch, depending on how early you got everyone out of bed that morning! On this day we choose to continue on to Si...

Shop and Support: Small Business Saturday For most of my life I have been involved in a small, independent business. Now I run my own small business as a full-time Realtor®. My father, an artist and framer in his younger years, went into the retail grocery business back in late sixties and early seventies. In 1977 he purchased his own independent grocery store in Las Cruces and with his hard work which included long hours at his store, he made sure that his business provided the very best products available as well as insuring his clients received excellent customer service. (If you were an employee of my father and you were rude to a customer you didn't work for him very long) His business thrived and although he is no longer at the helm, it is still a viable small business that has se...
