A very special note regarding upgrades at the Flickinger Center for the Performing Arts by Board President, Cindy Stong.
“Good morning Alamogordo and Happy New Year!
We are very excited about a new crack free sidewalk being installed in front of the Flickinger Center for Performing Arts. Swing by 1110 New York Avenue to see the final handy work.
Thank you to the County for funding this project - this was a dream Teresa Ham's had over a year ago that is now coming to life - and thank you to Coble Construction for the amazing job.
While you are checking out the new sidewalk, we have tickets for our remaining season shows available.
These are: Bettman and Halpin (Folk and American music) on January 22; Gerardo (wonderful guitarist) and chocolate buffet on February 12; Six Appeal (world class a cappella music) on March 11; State Street Ballet: The Jungle Book (a classic tale told through dance) on April 11; and to end the season Jarabe Mexicano (Mexican Folk and more) on April 28.
You can check out the website for our summer music and performing arts plans as they firm up. And if you have students interested in Children’s Theater, contact the office at (575) 437-2202.
Thank you for supporting this wonderful facility - a gem in Alamogordo.
Great news! These kinds of visual improvements are important for getting more people to visit downtown.

Everything in Alamogordo feels fake to me, as if it is some kind of staging ground or network, not an organic community.

It looks like my comment was edited.The part about low income housing being crime infested was removed.
this is a situation which is replicated in countless small communities across our nation; where a single business/mine/factory/industry, or in this case, military base, is the economic engine that powers the entire community. this creates a nervous sort of dependency, and subservient approach within the local gover
The corruption which causes reputational damage is too widespread already and is going to overflow into the public eye soon enough. There is nothing anyone, or any group can do to stop it all from coming out. It is not limited to Chamber of Commerce or MainGate, IMO. Its tentacles are choking this city.
this is not an unusual situation involving chambers of commerce - merging government with business interests is nearly as problematic as merging government with churches. either situation places minority stakeholders in positions to manipulate the public's interests.
