Thanks for letting me see my old home town i was born. In 1952 the town has new stores in some of the old buildings but oi still recenize every thing even the big dich i use to play there when i was. Young. I miss Silver City.😢

I AM MOVING THERE NEXT WEEKEND A DREAM COME TRUE!!!! SINCE 2016!!!!

Very nice presentation of one of the smaller towns in NM, that I have called home for more than 40 years - enjoy this great state & don't forget to check out Ruidoso, Cloudcroft & White Sands - you could even wander north to Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Taos, Espanola and a few others - enjoy this great state.

One of the best snapshot videos of Silver City I've seen. Shows the character of the center of the town. Yeah, it does sorta have a Bisbee feel to it, but there's so much more to offer for outdoor people in the area, in all directions. They've tried to fast-lane the place for 50 years, but it remains comfortably small-town.

I was driving from MI to AZ with my Parents in April and my Dad got sick and he ended up admitted to the Gila Regional Hospital there in Silver City. We stayed there for 2 days. Very nice place!

I’m so thrilled to see a recent Silver City video. My husband and I are recently married and making the transition from Phoenix to Silver City. It’s so nice to have a visual representation of the town! Great video!

Born and raised in Silver before I moved to Phoenix. After my time in the military I ended up in the midwest. Been trying to move back ever since. Nothing compares to the southwest.

I enjoyed the tour of the town and the music was especially good!!!!!

I was born in Silver City and now live in Chandler, Arizona. Much like Bisbee, these towns have found life after mining. A great video visit!

Beautiful historical old downtown Silver city nm

Thanks for featuring Silver City, New Mexico, just over the border from Arizona! More highlights of this area: Western New Mexico University campus and museum, dozens of tourist-friendly art museums, Gila Cliff Dwellings National monument, Trail of the Mountain Spirits scenic byway, miles of hiking and biking in the Gila National Forest north of town (lots of waterfalls in summer), annual Blues festival, Tour of the Gila bike race every May, several RV parks and hotels for overnight stays.

thank you for visit new mexico come again some time

I rode my motorcycle to Silver City in June and took Route 666 "Devils Highway". Stayed overnight at The Murray Hotel on Broadway. I really enjoyed the town and it's people. Will return in the Fall. Always look forward to your new content. THANK YOU!

Really enjoying the New Mexico content.👍 Thank you,

My father son of Theo W Carter was born in1902 in Silver City. T W Carter's uncle Joseph built the Carter House which still stands today. Thanks for showing the video. J Carter

Thank you, I used to live in Silver and have missed it lately. Thanks for the walk down memory lane I have not been there for 25 yrs

Looks like a beautiful little town. I would love to visit there. Always look forward to your next videos.

I really liked new Mexico

Thanks for going there. My sister moved there this month, so now I see why. Yes, keep showing similar sites in southwest.

Being high desert and about the same elevation of Prescott and Payson, I considered moving to Silver city in 2007. Spent a week there. Loved it. However the wife did not like the shopping options. She said "It does not have a Kohls. So we moved to Prescott. I go to Silver City most years with my motorcycle and ride the incredible roads there and the incredible roads getting there. The town has a really good blues festival during memorial weekend. That is usually when I go there. It is considered Prescott's sister city. I try to stay at the Palace hotel if there is a room.

Thank you for the video! I hope you’re able to show more videos of NM in the future! ☀️👍😎

Nice job! So to see in our Southwest.

Wife & I are growing very fond of Silver City, its just under 3 hours drive from Sierra Vista, and I agree with you that it has a Bisbee vibe to it. Matter of fact, I have said to others that its Bisbee meets Nogales! Ah yes, Little Toad Creek Brewery, our favorite burger & brew place! We have spent many a pleasant hour in that place! Did you take notice of the theater, especially the lighting... real neon! We ran into a wonderful lady who is on the revitalizing committee, and she went into great detail about the full remodel & restoration of that theater, to include the neon fixtures!

I'm from Silver City. I grew up here. I love this place, I love the counter culture, artsy feel of it all, I love the culture, I love the people. Its just an amazing place to live. I do have one gripe with the place though, and I'm gonna lay that out here. Silver, like a few other mining towns in the southwest, Bisbee, I'm looking at you....has embraced the counter culture and art culture that came in when the mines started wheezing cause...you know, mining is a finite process...and good for it. Doing that kept it alive. Now tourism is a huge bit of the town's economy and its art shops are central to that. Again, good. But....but and here's the thing. Silver's downtown is promoted at the "Historic Art District". And excuse me, but as an historian I can assure you that there is no "historic art district" in Silver City, New Mexico. There IS an "historic district" which has been remarketed into an Art district. Now don't get me wrong..without those art shops the buildings in downtown would be abandoned, decaying wrecks. We've seen that happen in God knows how many places. But..art? Really? No. A century ago those constructions were home to myriad businesses...grocers for miners to buy their food, shops to purchase equipment, shops to repair said equipment, diners...but in abundance....saloons...and whorehouses. (Dens of ill repute for those on the far side of the "woke" angle.) Look...I'm fine...just fine with the art shops. But they are NOT in any way "historic". Miners in the 1880s were not perusing the downtown shops for a lovely piece to hang on their wall. They were looking for something to drink, and someone to....spend quality time with. I just wish, Silver would give a nod to that truth, and place in one of those downtown buildings needing something IN it...a recreation of an 1880s miners grocery..go in and buy a bag of flour and some hard candy and sarsparilla. See what they had to work with. And maybe...just maybe recreate a "den of ill repute" as was common in the area where miners could retire for some "sport with the ladies". You'd actually be presenting REAL history, and presenting a window back into time. If I were wealthy i'd insist on it and DO it. But I'm not. All I can do it gripe. And this is my gripe. A gripe towards a town I'm thoroughly in love with...so its not got a lot of teeth. :)

I was there two summers ago and I loved it. But that doesn’t mean I would live there. There’s no Kroger, Walmart nor good medical care, among other things. But the people were very nice and it’s beautiful. I loved every minute I spent in New Mexico I’m moving to New Mexico in the next week or two, only to either Albuquerque or Santa Fe or Farmington.

I will be heading there in a week for a 4-day vacay with my sister, and we are really excited.

Enjoyed the tour of Silver City,

Thank you for sharing your video with us. Sleepy town. Reminds me of staying with my relatives in Northern California. Thank you again.

Good blend of small town/city with plenty ideas to explore Nature as well. Great presentation!

There is a nice coffee shop downtown Tranquilbuzz.

I can't wait to go there. Thank you for this .

Hey there! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of your video ! I waa curious about the gila national forest and also sliver city and your tour gave me much insight I thank you for that🥰👍

I really enjoy ur videos and I'm heading to Silver City in a few days. Would hv loved to hear more about the real estate & living there aspect of that side too. Thx u for ur view on the SC, NM. 👍🏾

Love this video.Well done.

I love driving through all the old western towns. So much to see :)

Very cool video. Nicely done!

My home. Where I was Born.. My Mom worked in the mines for 30 years

Awesome video. I’ve been to Silver City so many times but only going through. I’ve never seen this part of it. I’ll make sure and look around next time I’m there. Thank you

I Sincerely love your channel!So happy to be a subscriber.

What a great channel you have!

Excellent video. Thank you!

Beautiful

Hey I live in silver City 😊

Very enjoyable. Im considering a move to NM from MN and this is a helpful video as Ive not yet visited Silver City. It. looks very charming. Your video is very well done and pleasant, you have an excellent voice for narration, very relaxed and easy to listen to. I really enjoy the pace and presentation style. Thanks.

Nice video love New Mexico.

Such a nice video thanks

Thank you 🙏🏻

been there , liked it

It looks like you hit all the places that long term residents avoid. There's so much more than downtown.

Little do tourists know of the dark and violent underbelly in silver. Love my city.

Very nice -----

Going there soon to see a friend. Ty

Solid thanks

I’m surprised .Why is it so temperate?you just explained it. The elevation 😁

Thanks

Watching from San Francisco

nice job especially the camera work. they also have two Hospitals and a University there. i hope to be there later this year. the move will be permanent!

My wife and I just returned from a totally unplanned few days in SC. Weather was great, most everyone was friendly save for that one group of folks from Arizona that just made a nuisance of themselves… We’re planing on moving to SC soon as we’re tired of Pima county AZ problems, five years is enough.

I’ll take the house salad and the cheeseburger and a cold draft beer please😀

Almost went to college there. Great video! always liked that corner of the states.

Que cidade linda...

Nicely presented! I guess that history is not priority for you? You walked through, around, and over some REALLY interesting stuff without seeming to know it. Next time check out the visitors center and the SC Museum to put you in touch with those facets of the town.

Glad to see you in NM - make sure you check out Las Cruces!

It is a beautiful city with a rich history indeed. But Silver City also has Western New Mexico University, which is an outstanding post-secondary school of higher learning.

Do a video for Ruidoso & Cloudcroft NM👍

Nice to vary yourself from AZ. Silver City seems pretty spread out for a town of 10K. I recall about 20 years ago a wave of Californians migrated there to escape that state and drove up home prices. Now, web search says Median home price is in the $200K range plus or minus. A lot of those cheaper houses may be quite old, however. Newer construction may be higher. I suggest Las Cruces, Las Vegas (NM), Carlsbad and Taos as places to put on your channel.

I lived here ever since I was born, yes its true that it gets pretty cold here, and it gets pretty hot here, we do get a lot of snow, sometimes 6 inches or a bit more, but idk if they told you that silver city had a different name before silver city was named silver city, I can't really remember what it was called before then but how I know this, because I did a freshmen project about Boston hill being a historic mine

I've been wanting to move there

my first time that I heard of Silver City was from The Neverending Story Part II.

I live there and you didn't show the little walnut camp grounds or mention that people can go hiking, camping, ect in the area. Also one can buy home made fudge downtown. The population of silver depends partly on how well the minds are doing at the time. Note: note everyone stays after high school, most move away and few stay. Also the hospital has a bad rep. (Look it up if you dont believe me) I could go on and on about this but I think that's good.

Silver dollar city nice place to visit : great Mexican food : Houston tx.

BAM

Love Silver City! Almost moved there from Washington state. Hope you had a chance to go check out the Buckhorn saloon in the hills above Silver in the little hamlet of Pinos Altos. If not, make sure to give it a feature next time you're in the area.

Do you know if they have an specialty grocery stores, Whole Foods, etc. Anywhere that would sell really quality grassfed beef.

Does Lordsburg or Deming also get snow?

My mother lived in Silver City

Do you also have a channel called IslandHopperTv or something like that?

Silver city is nice. Kinda expensive, and beware of the high curbs downtown.

Thoughts on las cruces?

Would have been nice to hear about the food you ate. Maybe a thumbs up or down as far as the food goes. That burger looked really good as well as the salad.

Town is a bit larger than it was 53 years ago when I lived there.

Jeff did you see how crappy CNBC rated Arizona? Worst place to live in. I was so annoyed. It’s titled Razing Arizona.

what about Johnny Banks...

What a cute town! What do people do for a living on these areas though?

I lived in Silver City about 25 years ago when my parents retired there. While I was there p, (and since then when I've visited), the "downtown" was shuttered. Most if the stores were closed. If what you need isn't at Wal-mart or Amazon, you do without. Don't forget the drugs and alcohol. Don't forget the high unemployed rate. Plus the high single parent households. Most of the residents are on some sort of government aide. It's a nice place to visit..... but I wouldn't wan5 to ever live there again.

best reubens in restaurant there.

What freeway or highway did a small cal land in a ditch? Who took the photo? I was not in that small black car Who blamed me?

Why is this not on island hopper TV I’m not trying to be rude I’m just a little curious sorry if it sounded rude 🤔

New channel

Hi

Lived there for 11 yrs _ Pretty descent weather but you have to not mind 35 degree dif from daily hi to low _ Always good sleep'n nights _ That's pretty much the southwest, isn't it _ Feb through June wind doesn't stop _ Crime is high for population _ Pay can be low _ Home of WNMU. :>/

Jeff, who is the blond girl???

remarkable you have no vids of the murals this little town is noted for, otherwise a nice presentation

Not a handicap friendly town.

Where is that Greek burvh named Qiyira that r doesn't own.a bank account 8n Texas

Could do without the repeating beat

You are supposed to open a door for a lady.

all you did was go around downtown lol

Been there, but not recently. I remember the great Mexican food, and arty shops. I seem to remember there is a lot of Mormons living there, or Jehova's Witnesses, can't remember which.

thanks for the video ,although it was 3 years ago .... I hope you have considered to be a gentleman and open the door for the lady .....and walk with her . 🙄
