A few years back, Las Cruces received nationwide recognition as being "Ranked the Best" small metro area to do business (Forbes/Milken Institute), and the top area in the U.S. to retire (Money Magazine). Since then, it seems the rest of the world slowly discovered what we've already known: Las Cruces is a great place to live and do business, and the rewards of such distinction can already be seen on our landscape. The number of custom homes built in the area continues to soar and the Chamber of Commerce records new businesses almost weekly. New restaurants are popping up all over town and Mesilla Valley Mall is undergoing major renovations. Indeed, change is one thing that stays constant in our part of Southern New Mexico.

Inside Las Cruces Magazine you'll find everything you need to settle into the community, or keep yourself updated on the community you live in. We've included sections on healthcare, area schools, real estate and the economy. There are also sections dedicated to the arts and entertainment in the area, which change seasonally, so you'll have to be sure to check in now and again to find out what great events are going on in and around Las Cruces. :)

While most jewelers consume themselves with stones and settings, Austin's passion is the story behind the items he sells and even more so for the rings he collects. Beginning in the summer of 2012, Austin will begin sharing those rings and the stories he's collected at the Austin's Jewelry Ring Museum.
