I graduated from Alamogordo Senior High School in 1980. My father was what is essentially the Chief of Police at Holloman AFB. I left Alamogordo in 1982 and have been in Mississippi ever since then. I miss the west and wish I could return...but circumstances prevent that dream from becoming a reality. Anyone one from my era...please tell-me how you are doing. If you need some reference to who I am....I was one of the editors for The Alma Del Tigre magazine.
I totally agree with the video.I stayed there with the german air force there 20 years ago and I came back 2019 for a visit. It broke my heart to leave again.
en 1991, estuve visitando alamogordo , vine desde España, me encanto, fui muy feliz el mes que estuve alli gracias tambien a la familia que me acojiolos cox, fred and luisa, es un lugar precioso
I was born in San Diego CA in 1970. Lived here in Alamo with my mom, brother and family for 2 years leaving Dec of 74. I came out to visit my mom on 78 for a couple days and in 1979 spent the entire summer here and did not want to leave. I loved it here so much. 6 years later I got my wish and move in 85. Been here ever since. One of my favorite places was Gibsons. I remember the smell of the sporting goods, lawn and garden part of the store. The toy section was the best. Better than Walmart I think. Elsie at the Knife Shop on New York and Yucca News Stand on 10th were great. The Whitesands Mall was awesome when it first opened and was a great place to go hang out. It was home base for meeting up with my friends on high school. I saw some of the greatest movies in film history in the theater right next to KMart. Those were the days. Oh! Can't forget the Chinese Dragon restaurant. Nothing better since.
Mi hija y su familia vivía en Edinburg Texas, en Junio 2024 se cambiaron a vivir a Alamo Gordo, están muy contentos, les gusta mucho el lugar y pronto voy a ir a conocer el lugar yo vivo en Monterrey México.
Been to Alamogordo twice in two years. Going to move there in a couple of years. Found it to be a very nice place to make home in retirement. Going to enjoy the sunshine and lack of mid-west winters! Everybody we met was wonderful and friendly. Going to do LOTS of outdoor sporting & exploring.
Hi Doug! Did you ever move to Alamogordo? A few of us are looking in to moving there and wonder about it and if there are folks as yourself who can give us an honest account about how it is going there. I'm a school teacher in my mid-60s, rockhound, and horse enthusiast, so trying to find my corner of Paradise for my "golden years" and find a like-minded partner in life. Blessings from Nevada, Star
@@staralioflundnv Why would that matter? Probably not going to happen in a blue state. But hey you can come on over to where I live in Alabama with a Governor like that and see how great it is. But, like NM, the people are great and that's what matters. Just too many hurricanes for me here.
I'm over in San Diego , CA just heard about the City Of Alamogordo I can fly free Space A on Military Planes maybe I will get to come check the City Out. Thanx For Posting This Video.
I am interested in moving south. How long have you been in Alamogordo? Can you tell me how is the employment situation and housing not apartments but houses?
estube en alamogordo.un mes cuando venia,de mojarra. gracias a las personas buenas que me dieron techo y trabajo un señor de nombre manuel.y crreo que el otro rick. saludos🤝
Coming to Holloman Air Force base in a few months, will be frequenting this town a whole lot, I’m from San Francisco and have been craving a nice little town environment for a while, had enough of the big city life. God works in amazing ways, what a blessing to come here
Hello from Germany. That looks really nice, that would really be a place where I would like to live at the age of 34 :) What about jobs in this place or around it? How is the housing market or could you even build something new? Please excuse my great curiosity :) My neighbor was a German soldier in Alamogordo and approached me when he told me how much nicer it is than here and what can I say, what I see and hear is probably true, especially from the weather and the wide freedom :)
Hi MR, we just film the videos but the city would have more info however the winters are very mild and doubtful they get any snow or if they do a little that melts away by noon.
Hey there, Krypto! So I'm still working (school teacher), am in my 60s, a country living type of gal, can you say if there are areas that have mini ranches for reasonable in/around Alamogordo? Got my heart set on some rural, yet civilization nearby type of homestead with a well and room for critters. Have a great New Year 2021! ---Star
What about the education (specifically public highschools) & other factors affecting daily life ? Pls i need suggestions related to someone transferring to Alamogordo..🙂
Horrible school system. Consider home schooling. More interested in sports than education. Nothing for kids to do here but get pregnant and do drugs. Cops are corrupt and judicial system broke. Local government covers up crime and corruption to keep military here. They moved 5 squadrons of F-16s here and they can't get anyone to move here to fill the civilian jobs because it's such a shit hole place to raise children. I live in Cloudcroft and only go to Alamogordo when I have to. Roads are horrible and tear your car up. This town is only here because of the base and they take advantage of the military. New car dealerships take advantage of the troops to. I bought my last truck from a dealer in Texas and saved thousands. I love the mountains and the scenery but most of the people are drunk or addicts because there isn't much else to do unless you are prosecutor or a cop. They stay real busy. A deputy sheriff has been doing hard drugs with young people here and then tried to bust them and the 12th district court DA just dropped 35 felony cases because of this piece of shit. If you dont have to move here don't. But if you do keep your children close and record all encounters with cops.
At last and not Alas, somebody that knows what they're talking about. But please, let's not invite overcrowding, crime and escalated real estate prices. Love my home town!
I'm from Alamogordo NM and I'm proud to be not the coolest place but it's where I'm from don't bash my town couldn't be any worse then she towns I've been to try south missippi and pick a town bin there you can have it I'll stay in A-Town
I have never been in New Mexico but I am in love with its uniqueness
Very diverse geographically
I lived in Alamogordo for 12 years, it's not worth visiting

I know this was made years ago but I fell in love with Alamogordo years ago and if I could successfully live there now I would
I totally agree with the video.I stayed there with the german air force there 20 years ago and I came back 2019 for a visit. It broke my heart to leave again.
We miss you all!!! You were considered ours and you brought good things to the area.
it is a good place to live? are they friendly with foreign?
I was several times over there. Really a great place. I liked it.

I miss living in Alamogordo, was a great place to be in the late 1970's.
I miss it too. I left in 1975.
I was living there for a year with my cousins in 1993

¡Gracias por compartir y esperamos que tengas una excelente visita a Alamogordo! Ojalá algún día podamos visitar Monterrey México.
The kangaroo smack was great. My father-in-law is thinkin about moving there. I'm more interested in the mining history there
Beautiful place! Love the scenery!

I'm thinking about moving to Alamogordo I was just wondering if you did move there and are you happy? Thanks in advance.

@@staralioflundnv Well, did you make it? I am considering it.
@@johnbob4545 ---Nope, not yet, waiting to see if they get a Conservative in for Governor...

Fishing? The only water Alamogordo gets is when it floods.
Ruidoso or cloud Croft has some great spots

Make sure you go check out the mountains while you are there !
Que pueblo más bonito estuve en 1 991,, en casa de unos amigos no lo olvidaré nunca
Yea not sure about the fishing part. But it's a awesome place.
I am interested in moving south.

I miss Alamogordo.
For a politician, she's kind of hot.
Hot mayor, beautiful scenery, I'm in
How bad is winter?
Hi MR, we just film the videos but the city would have more info however the winters are very mild and doubtful they get any snow or if they do a little that melts away by noon.
Alamo isn't really that great if your under the age of 21. but its a good place for the elderly. lots of abandon houses and rude teenagers
