New Mexico’s Capital Among Nation’s Top Strongest Economies

According to a new article at BusinessWeek.com, New Mexico’s Albuquerque is among 40 metropolitan areas that have been least touched by the recession. This welcome news comes courtesy of data and analysis from the Brooking’s Institution’s MetroMonitor, which measures the nation’s economic health on a quarterly basis and ranks the top 100 metros based on job growth, unemployment, gross metropolitan product, and home prices.

One of the common denominators of the strongest economies? Home prices that never got too high nor dropped too low.

It’s That Time of the Year Again: The Burro Herd is Back in Carrizozo

The Burro herd is back at Gallery 408 on Twelfth Street in Carrizozo! Pick your fave—we like Jeremy Howe’s Golden Rod—and help the local Animal Rescue Organization. Every November, the Saturday before Thanksgiving, Carrizozo buzzes with excitement during the annual Burro Auction at Gallery 408. Life size Burros painted and embellished by well-known artists have become the Public Art of the sidewalks and buildings of Carrizozo. Gazing from rooftops, garden walls, sidewalks and private patios, the Burros of Carrizozo welcome travelers and friends. Each burro has a unique personality and story demonstrating the visual interests of the artist who created them.

Mark your calendars for the Fourth Annual Burro Serenade and Auction!
