Here we are.... one of the best things about Silver City is the weather.
FOUR GENTLE SEASONS this was the 1st marketing tag line. You can still see it on some old faded signs or promotions that are out of date. We are within 100 miles of the boarder and at about 6000 ft elevation, a very favorable altitude and latitude. We are just about in the ol boot heel.
Silver City is a Great place to visit.

Evolution.......
Silver City is in the process of becoming "discovered". gentrification is occurring in the historic downtown district. The downtown is pretty liberal....New business are popping up all over the downtown district. There is no shortage of restaurants, galleries or coffee shops. Things close up pretty early around here, so plan accordingly. 
Everybody is an artist.....
....or should be in one way or another! Being creative and expressing oneself is vital to one's peace of mind. The art movement in Silver City was founded by Harry Benjamin. We have a great little arts movement, several owner/artist run galleries are scattered around the downtown district, mostly featuring traditional art. The hub of the art district is at the crossroads of Texas and Yankee Street.

We have been so fortunate to have several real good restaurants in our neighborhood. Dianne's, I think, has been around the longest. Others have sprung up and are doing quite well!
