I saw the Van Gogh and Japan film - so beautiful. I think films change weekly. Senior price was about $7. Could have gotten popcorn right inside the theatre. Worth supporting local treasures like this theatre. I would have never know to seek out this film, but was delighted to learn the history and enjoy the visually appealing scenes. Made for a great afternoon. Plus you’re supporting the locals.

We made two visits while we were in Alamagordo. The first day was to sample the Pistachios and Wine (good service and free samples). We would have stayed longer to have a glass of wine on their patio, but it was too windy/cool. Since the patio and view were so nice, we decided to come back the next day. They do have some boxed crackers, cheese, and beef stick that you can purchase, but you're also welcome to bring your own snacks. It's worth checking out.

Gorgeous and historic church. I'm a lifelong Catholic and love being able to celebrate Mass in a historic place. There's an old bat in a mantilla that thinks she owns the place but if you ignore her delusions of ownership then it's a great place.

If you are in Las Cruces, the Mesilla Plaza is worth a stop. You can find a delicious meal here, learn a bit of Southwestern history and find some well priced souvenirs. A lovely place to take a stroll.

This was the site of the original courthouse where Billy the Kid was tried. It still has the old roofing (obviously covered by a 2nd roof). The 2 ladies were very helpful in answering our questions, and we bought a great Billy the Kid book! They safe distanced and wore masks :-)
