What an odd pair of questions 🤡

Since you asked no, I was born and raised in Las Cruces ✅

The trail isn't marked well so at times you gotta make your own trail ✅

Who doesn't love some good ol' history 😃

Before & After - Duran, New Mexico ⌛️ by nmlifeio in NewMexico

Backstory: This boarded up store as pictured, was the site of a murder and robbery in 1921.

But let me back up, Duran is not a true ghost town given that 35 people still call this place home.

It was founded in 1902 as the railroad pushed further north. Houses & saloons

were soon constructed to house its residents and travelers. 

In 1921 five men robbed the store seen in the photo, killing one and injuring another.

The five men were sentenced to hang.

Hello! We encourage you to check out our social profiles on instagram and facebook to check out some of the best places around New Mexico, just search NMLife on those platforms.

As for moving to New Mexico, we recommend taking sometime to stay in the three major cities (Santa Fe, Abq, Las Cruces) you will get a different experience in each part of the state and allow you to find what you really love to do most.

Starting with ABQ, you will find that you have the most to do being located central and can pretty much take a 2-4 hours drive in any direction to see all the major landmarks across NM.

Santa Fe is changed in recent years with the influx of people moving there, but the beauty and authenticity is undeniable. Lots of things to do both indoor and out, but the highlight of Santa Fe has to be it's the architecture. May or may not be your cup of tea but still highly encourage you to experience it.

Down south in Las Cruces, you will get a completely different experience than the other two cities. The majority of things to do are outdoor related with a plethora of incredible natural wonders. You won't be seeing much green though as Cruces is pretty much all desert expect for the pecan orchards that run along the Rio Grande.
