There must be something in the water! -
4/8/2011I don't see why any sane person would want to live here. The school system here is a disgrace(except for the university), the weather is horrible, everything is brown brown brown. Everything around just seems dead. There are SOO many mobile homes it's shocking and not even nice ones. At least 60% of the population here are on wellfare, foodstamps, medicaid, etc. and they come from generations were being on government assistance is the norm! they don't better them selves just to be able to get government assistance. There are "cholos" on every corner, dirty sloppy fat rude hispanic people that don't even deserve to be called a true mexican. The hispanics here are the equivalent of a hillbily! I am a mexican woman that was raised in Baja California, Mexico and I'm embarrased to be associated with the hispanics here. The mexican food isn't very good, what matters most here is the spicyness rather than the flavor. Most people here have the walmart mentality, they don't support the farmers market because its too expensive. The so called "mall" that they have here is a joke, they don't even have a Nordstroms for crying out loud. Their is literally nothing to do here, no diversity, no variety. No wonder there is such a high pregnancy rate and crime rate, drugs are abundant everywhere. But if you like the desert with a bunch of spiders everywhere, then this will be perfect for you. This town is a tad bit better than the sore eye of El Paso. Don't even get me started on the ugliest town in the U.S. which is El Paso. But Las Cruces has the Organ Mountains, the sunset, the stars, the pecan trees, the..........that's it. I've only lived here for 2 years and as soon as I'm done with my degree I am getting as far away from this place as possible!
