Random google street view:

Relative to Las Cruces, where I live, this looks like a foreign land. Pitched roofs, relatively tall trees, etc.

Well, you can decide for yourself if you think Clovis looks like NM or TX. I have several albums of Clovis photos on CD that you can look at.

Parts of Clovis look more like Lubbock and Midland, to me, especially the newer construction.

It's more New Mexico than Santa Fe or Truchas. There are more people from New England living in those places than Clovis. Santa Fe and Albuqueruque are more like Boston and New York than a New Mexican city like Clovis or Clayton or Farmington now. Even though Farmington might as well be in Utah.

Dont put Farmington down and say that it might as well belong in Utah.

I guess what he's saying is that NM is a big state and is many things with many regions and many different cultures, and not just the stereotypical pueblo architecture of Santa Fe.

what I think he is saying is that there are so many people from the East Coast and other places living in ABQ and Santa Fe that they arnt as New Mexican as Clovis cause most people in Clovis are from NM.

But the people at Cannon AFB are from all over. I've never seen so many different license plates in a town, and these people live here. In Clovis.
