Alamogordo, NM — This holiday season, the heart of downtown Alamogordo will come alive with creativity, community, and festive spirit as the 1200 Block Pop-Up Emporium opens its doors from November 28th to December 24th. Located at the corner of 12th Street and New York Avenue, directly across from Wells Fargo, this seasonal marketplace will showcase the talents of local crafters, artisans, and makers from across Otero County.

A collaborative effort between Our Little Country Store and the revitalization efforts of the Block12 District, the Pop-Up Emporium is designed to support small businesses and celebrate the unique artistry of Southern New Mexico. From handmade crafts and textiles, and gourmet dog treats, shoppers will find one-of-a-kind gifts while supporting local entrepreneurs.

Marketing and promotional support for the project is provided by 2nd Life Media Inc, the independent media company behind AlamogordoTownNews.org, KRAZY KALHRadio.org, and Block12.org. Their platforms will feature vendor spotlights, behind-the-scenes stories, and live coverage throughout the season to help connect the community with the creators behind the crafts.
“This is more than a market—it’s a celebration of local talent and a chance to shop with purpose,” said Cindy Nowaczck curator and owner of Our Little Country Store.” We’re proud to support a pop up that brings neighbors and small business entereprenuers together and keeps holiday dollars right here in Alamogordo.”
The 1200 Block Pop-Up Emporium is part of a broader effort to revitalize the 1200 Block Arts & Cultural District, which includes galleries, performance spaces, and historic storefronts. With festive décor, live music, and community programming planned to include Christmas on MainStreet, the 1200 Block Emporium and Our Little Country Store promises to be a destination for holiday cheer and local pride.

New sidewalks for some neighborhoods. What about the Walker area that is also in her district. Seeing is believing, Walker area has always been ignored.
Have you ever messaged her about it, or are you just complaining to complain? Her actions speak louder than all the other commissioners combined.
She championed and approved $12 million dollars worth of Water system upgrades for walker road and yet you choose to ignore that. It is in the design phase with contract bidding to be announed in early 2026 with work to begin in later spring. That is the largest capital investment in Walker Road in over 50 years.
Sunny, with a high of 70 and low of 38 degrees. Sunny in the morning, clear for the afternoon and evening,
Did anyone see what Senator Charles Grassley is saying about AI yesterday. What does that have to do with this? It might explain why legal systems in many cities are such a mess.
But also: Why is no one talking about the DISMAL low income housing in Alamogordo, and the need to investigate what is going on in those places, and the lack of housing for homeless???????????

"I cannot accept your canon that we are to judge Pope and King unlike other men, with a favorable presumption that they do no wrong. If there is any presumption, it is the other way against holders of power...power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." ~ Lord Acton
It is interesting as you delve into the family, business and indeed religious connections that are intertwined in city politics. Some folks have a whole lit of fleas scratching the dog.
Absolutely true lots of fleas itching the dog!!
I somehow got logged out without doing so since last time I was here. I wanted to view the Flickinger meeting on Facebook but cannot because my account was taken down. I do not attend these public events because of all the attempts to mess with my life already.
two observations:
Absolutely. I would say those are conservative numbers at 1 in 40. The quickest way to become wealthy in America is to enter politics. I would say Miss McDonald is 1 in a 109. The family fun center fiasco is a true memorial to what nepotism and back room dealing will get you.
PBS was relevant.
NPR and PBS were definitely relevant - which is precisely why the trump regime has scuttled them...we have truly entered the era of alternative "truth".
