Very nice presentation of one of the smaller towns in NM, that I have called home for more than 40 years - enjoy this great state & don't forget to check out Ruidoso, Cloudcroft & White Sands - you could even wander north to Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Taos, Espanola and a few others - enjoy this great state.

I AM MOVING THERE NEXT WEEKEND A DREAM COME TRUE!!!! SINCE 2016!!!!

One of the best snapshot videos of Silver City I've seen. Shows the character of the center of the town. Yeah, it does sorta have a Bisbee feel to it, but there's so much more to offer for outdoor people in the area, in all directions. They've tried to fast-lane the place for 50 years, but it remains comfortably small-town.

I’m so thrilled to see a recent Silver City video. My husband and I are recently married and making the transition from Phoenix to Silver City. It’s so nice to have a visual representation of the town! Great video!

I was driving from MI to AZ with my Parents in April and my Dad got sick and he ended up admitted to the Gila Regional Hospital there in Silver City. We stayed there for 2 days. Very nice place!

Hopes he's ok

Born and raised in Silver before I moved to Phoenix. After my time in the military I ended up in the midwest. Been trying to move back ever since. Nothing compares to the southwest.

I'm from Silver City. I grew up here. I love this place, I love the counter culture, artsy feel of it all, I love the culture, I love the people. Its just an amazing place to live. I do have one gripe with the place though, and I'm gonna lay that out here. Silver, like a few other mining towns in the southwest, Bisbee, I'm looking at you....has embraced the counter culture and art culture that came in when the mines started wheezing cause...you know, mining is a finite process...and good for it. Doing that kept it alive. Now tourism is a huge bit of the town's economy and its art shops are central to that. Again, good. But....but and here's the thing. Silver's downtown is promoted at the "Historic Art District". And excuse me, but as an historian I can assure you that there is no "historic art district" in Silver City, New Mexico. There IS an "historic district" which has been remarketed into an Art district. Now don't get me wrong..without those art shops the buildings in downtown would be abandoned, decaying wrecks. We've seen that happen in God knows how many places. But..art? Really? No. A century ago those constructions were home to myriad businesses...grocers for miners to buy their food, shops to purchase equipment, shops to repair said equipment, diners...but in abundance....saloons...and whorehouses. (Dens of ill repute for those on the far side of the "woke" angle.) Look...I'm fine...just fine with the art shops. But they are NOT in any way "historic". Miners in the 1880s were not perusing the downtown shops for a lovely piece to hang on their wall. They were looking for something to drink, and someone to....spend quality time with. I just wish, Silver would give a nod to that truth, and place in one of those downtown buildings needing something IN it...a recreation of an 1880s miners grocery..go in and buy a bag of flour and some hard candy and sarsparilla. See what they had to work with. And maybe...just maybe recreate a "den of ill repute" as was common in the area where miners could retire for some "sport with the ladies". You'd actually be presenting REAL history, and presenting a window back into time. If I were wealthy i'd insist on it and DO it. But I'm not. All I can do it gripe. And this is my gripe. A gripe towards a town I'm thoroughly in love with...so its not got a lot of teeth. :)

Yeah, horse poop on the streets and pigs and dogs running loose sounds accurate also …….hardy harhar. You make a good gripe about there probably being little art there historically. I’m wondering about the 20 year drought. Are any towns running dry? People cannot drink art. Silver City resembles but has a advantage over other struggling towns like Sedro Woolley, WA, near where I lived. We all drive right past Sedro because the major shopping centers in Burlington and Mount Vernon were only 6 miles further. So Sedro struggles on and on with businesses going under after a few years of little business. If Grant County is smart they will never allow a competing shopping area to be developed.

Hey I live in silver City 😊

I was there two summers ago and I loved it. But that doesn’t mean I would live there. There’s no Kroger, Walmart nor good medical care, among other things. But the people were very nice and it’s beautiful. I loved every minute I spent in New Mexico I’m moving to New Mexico in the next week or two, only to either Albuquerque or Santa Fe or Farmington.

Being high desert and about the same elevation of Prescott and Payson, I considered moving to Silver city in 2007. Spent a week there. Loved it. However the wife did not like the shopping options. She said "It does not have a Kohls. So we moved to Prescott. I go to Silver City most years with my motorcycle and ride the incredible roads there and the incredible roads getting there. The town has a really good blues festival during memorial weekend. That is usually when I go there. It is considered Prescott's sister city. I try to stay at the Palace hotel if there is a room.

Wife & I are growing very fond of Silver City, its just under 3 hours drive from Sierra Vista, and I agree with you that it has a Bisbee vibe to it. Matter of fact, I have said to others that its Bisbee meets Nogales! Ah yes, Little Toad Creek Brewery, our favorite burger & brew place! We have spent many a pleasant hour in that place! Did you take notice of the theater, especially the lighting... real neon! We ran into a wonderful lady who is on the revitalizing committee, and she went into great detail about the full remodel & restoration of that theater, to include the neon fixtures!

A degree is just a piece of paper. Experience is the key. I turned down MIT and Harvard because they couldn't teach me anything new.

My wife and I just returned from a totally unplanned few days in SC. Weather was great, most everyone was friendly save for that one group of folks from Arizona that just made a nuisance of themselves… We’re planing on moving to SC soon as we’re tired of Pima county AZ problems, five years is enough.

DREAMS REALLY DO COME TRUE TOCCOA!!!!

Nice to vary yourself from AZ. Silver City seems pretty spread out for a town of 10K. I recall about 20 years ago a wave of Californians migrated there to escape that state and drove up home prices. Now, web search says Median home price is in the $200K range plus or minus. A lot of those cheaper houses may be quite old, however. Newer construction may be higher. I suggest Las Cruces, Las Vegas (NM), Carlsbad and Taos as places to put on your channel.

Nicely presented! I guess that history is not priority for you? You walked through, around, and over some REALLY interesting stuff without seeming to know it. Next time check out the visitors center and the SC Museum to put you in touch with those facets of the town.

I live there and you didn't show the little walnut camp grounds or mention that people can go hiking, camping, ect in the area. Also one can buy home made fudge downtown. The population of silver depends partly on how well the minds are doing at the time. Note: note everyone stays after high school, most move away and few stay. Also the hospital has a bad rep. (Look it up if you dont believe me) I could go on and on about this but I think that's good.

I lived in Silver City about 25 years ago when my parents retired there. While I was there p, (and since then when I've visited), the "downtown" was shuttered. Most if the stores were closed. If what you need isn't at Wal-mart or Amazon, you do without. Don't forget the drugs and alcohol. Don't forget the high unemployed rate. Plus the high single parent households. Most of the residents are on some sort of government aide. It's a nice place to visit..... but I wouldn't wan5 to ever live there again.

my first time that I heard of Silver City was from The Neverending Story Part II.

I lived here ever since I was born, yes its true that it gets pretty cold here, and it gets pretty hot here, we do get a lot of snow, sometimes 6 inches or a bit more, but idk if they told you that silver city had a different name before silver city was named silver city, I can't really remember what it was called before then but how I know this, because I did a freshmen project about Boston hill being a historic mine
