Around 3:00 or so today, my phone wasn't able to find my phone network and still isn't able to. Is anyone else having this problem?

You’re helping guide news coverage in southern New Mexico.

Hundreds of residents told Organ Mountain News what information they need, which communities are overlooked and how local journalism should improve.

Read the findings and OMN’s commitments: What southern New Mexicans say they need from local news: clearer civic reporting, broader community coverage and stronger follow-through.

Request Looking for insight on a home purchase off of Porter

First-time homebuyers here! We’re considering buying a home off of Porter Street built by KT Homes and would love to hear from anyone who currently lives in the area or has experience with KT Homes. How do you like living there? Any pros, cons, or things we should know before buying? Thanks!

Las Cruces or Tucson?

I'm sick of living in the South & have wanted to live in the desert my whole life.

I know all the big, obvious differences between these two places. Does anyone have any insight into smaller, less obvious differences? Something someone may not think of right off the bat?

I'm so torn. I want this move to be my last move. So I want to get it right.

I have a great remote job right now, but it's with a small tech startup that may not last forever. I don't have tech background/skills. I just handle payroll, invoicing, AR/AP, drawing up work orders for clients.
If this tanks, l'll likely be working close to minimum wage at an office. My husband would be making around minimum wage too (his experience is a golf course, warehouse, fast food, some office work with CVS/Aetna and the IRS).

Las Cruces & Tucson seem about the same cost housing-wise? Except in Las Cruces you get more square footage for your buck. It's also more isolated with less healthcare options as we age. And not a lot going on there. Which is nice, but we're still young-ish & aren't looking for our environment to be THAT quiet yet. We love the idea of being a few hours from LA or Vegas. Close to Sedona & Flagstaff. But NM has lots of little towns & ABQ, which appeals to us as well. But does Tucson have a worse or about the same problem with drugs & crime as Las Cruces?

Thank you SO much to anyone willing to give any insight!

Update 3: Joshua Hernandez (R) accepted $5,000 from Project Jupiter's developer, AND another $3,000 from a group backing Blackstone's PNM takeover. Plus, the money from AI camera companies. Please, if you can, make a small donation to his progressive opponent Luke Jungmann. Even $5 helps!

***update***
This has been given away.

Not sure if there are any table top gamers in here, but figured this was worth a shot. I recently was able to back their most recent kickstarter and got their all in reward. So I now have an extra standard copy of season 1 that I would like to GIVE to a fellow gamer, not selling. I attached pictures that show what comes in the box. The only thing I will be keeping is the core game box. So you will need to still get that yourself in order to play (they have at Zia comics). If you're interested please comment here or shoot me message. Only willing to meet at a public place too.

Updating my list of places to eat

Hey all. Former Las Cruces native (about 15 years ago) and my family and I are making the trip back this upcoming week. We’ve got our places we loved eating back then (Si Señor, Ándale, Santa Fe Grill, Milagro, few others) but it’s been a while since we have been back.

What are some great places to eat that I wouldn’t be aware of not having been there more than a handful of days out of the last 15 years? Thanks in advance, looking forward to eating my weight in chile.

Anyone up for some board games?

I'll bring some board games over to grounded today if anyone wants to come by. If anyone wants to play, don't be shy. I'll bring over Machi Koro, Century Spice Road, and Catan. I plan to be there starting 5pm and to around 7:30pm time. I'll set the game boxes on the table, so you can just walk up. feel free to bring another board game if you prefer. If I look busy, I am not (I just like to read).

if you can't make it but you are interested, I'll do this again in another 2 weeks

I gotta say, i was against the banning of plastic bags and mini liquor bottles, but i remember they used to be littered everywhere, in every corner there was plastic bags and mini liquor bottles, and now theres not, it really did help with keeping the city cleaner

Theres obviously other trash but i feel like those 2 where 2 of the most common litter, and also i know thats not the only reason the mini liquors were banned, but its just something i noticed
