Las Cruces, New Mexico 
Unlike many cities its size, Las Cruces lacks a true central business district. Most Las Crucens would agree that the modern "heart" of the city, where most stores and restaurants are located, is the area running down Telshor Boulevard and Lohman Avenue. Las Cruces' only shopping mall and a variety of retail stores and restaurants are located in this area. However, the historic downtown of the city is the area around Main Street, a six-block stretch of which was closed off in 1973 to form the "Downtown Mall", a pedestrianized shopping area. The downtown mall has a farmers market each Wednesday and Saturday morning, where a variety of foods and cultural items can be purchased from small stands that are set up by local farmers, artists, and craftspeople . It also contains many businesses, churches and theaters, which add a great deal of character to Las Cruces by continuing to exist in the historic downtown. Las Cruces is also the home of New Mexico State University.

I would have had no trouble working with him to find just the right home in the new location. Thank you. Should a possible move come up again, I would not hesitate to contact you again.”
