Veterans Ceremony at Mesilla Plaza today, Nov 11th at 11 am. to honor the courage, dedication, and sacrifice of our veterans.

Thank you to all the Veterans for your Service! I found local some specials for the veterans. I am sure there are more but these are some good ones to check out.

Matteo’s has announced they are closing all 4 locations in Las Cruces and El Paso due to the rising cost of inventory, decline in sales, and the restaurant's commitment to only using high-quality ingredients, which made it "impossible to continue operations. Read their post.

Tractor Supply is opening a new location in Las Cruces at 3999 Bataan Memorial West, Las Cruces, NM 88012 which is on the north side of Hwy 70 just east of Sonoma Ranch Road. It will be featuring a pet wash, garden center, and feed center. Expected to open soon with a Grand Opening in early 2026.

Discount Tire opened a new location at 3560 Bataan Memorial East and Sonic opened a new location at 4540 Sonoma Ranch Blvd. These are in addition to many other restaurants and businesses that have opened in this area in the recent past. The east side of Las Cruces is really popping!
