southwest: Real Estate Term: Easement - 04/28/10 11:32 AM
Definition: A right, privilege or interest limited to a specific use or control purpose which one party has in the land of another party and which run with the land and are not a personal right of an individual.
Discussion: When a property has an easement, it means that the described entity has the right to use that part of the property for a given purpose. Example: a "Utility Easement" along the south line of a property means that the Utility Company has the right to go onto that part of the property and maintain the utilities therein.

southwest: Pretty Scenes in Silver City, NM - 03/30/10 12:49 PM
Today I just want to show you some pretty things in Silver City.
This is an exposed adobe wall. Sometimes you will see them covered with stucco. I like this one showing the adobe brick.
This is a beautiful wood door in a stucco wall surrounding a home. The wall is an example of a covered adobe wall. (In stucco walls such as these, there may be cinder block under the stucco)
The decoration hanging on the door is called a ristra (ree-stra). It is dried red chilis strung together to make … (1 comments)

southwest: This is how it is in Silver City, New Mexico - 03/24/10 11:04 AM
People seem to exaggerate here. I say this with a twinkle in my eye and a wink. The Rio Grande is not that big of a river. Also, when I hear the word monsoon I imagine that it starts raining one day and does not stop for 30-40 days. That's not how it is here. It means the rainy season where clouds build during the day and a part of the area may get a downpour for an hour or two. This happens generally every day for about a month and a half in July and August.
It is a lot … (0 comments)

southwest: History of Silver City, NM - Part 1 - 03/09/09 12:39 PM
March 9, 20009
Below is a brief history of our area, intended to give you an idea of how the area developed.
History of Silver City - Part 1
In approximately 1000 A.D., the Mimbreno Indians lived in the area. Many examples of their pottery can be seen at the Silver City Museum. There were also the Mogollon Indians - no visit to this area would be complete without a visit to the Gila Cliff Dwellings where you can learn more about these people. http://www.nps.gov/gicl/
Way back when, the Apache used this area as a camp. Often, Indian artifacts can be … (1 comments)

southwest: Chocolate Fantasia in Silver City, NM - 01/29/09 11:00 AM
January 29, 2009
Silver City always has fun things to do. The Blues Festival in May, the Tour of the Gila Bike race in the spring, Week-end at the Galleries in the fall and so much more! But my favorite might have to be Chocolate Fantasia in February. You buy a ticket for $20. and get a map of where the chocolates are located. Then you walk around to all the different locations (shops and museums in the downtown area) and get 20 pieces of chocolate from true artisians. Most of them are pieces of art. Bring a box - 'cause you … (2 comments)
