N is for NEWance
from The ROAMies Podcast Hosted by The ROAMies
Silver City, New Mexico doesn’t hit you with one giant landmark. It wins you over with craft, conversation, and the kind of small details you only catch when you slow down. We roll into town for N is for New Wants, playing on the “nuance” we found everywhere, from downtown murals to handmade soap to a triangle table that somehow makes more sense than every corner nook we’ve ever seen. https://visitsilvercity.org/ Murray Ryan Visitor Center 201 North Hudson Street, Silver City, NM 88061 575-538-5555 | [email protected] Silver City MainStreet Project/Arts & Cultural District 575-534-1700 Downtown Guide Business listing: https://silvercitymainstreet.com/downtown-guide/. We map out a listener-friendly Silver City travel guide for a full day (and why Wednesday through Sunday is the easiest time to visit). You’ll hear from Bryant at Birdwell’s Coffee and Boba Tea about taking a leap into small business life, and from Laura Aubrey at June Junes on scratch-made ice cream, botanical teas, and flavors like wild rose without artificial dye. Then we sit down with Raphael at Whiskey Creek Zocolo to talk about the town’s mining lore, rebuilding a venue during COVID, and how an eclectic live music calendar can shape a community. From there we zoom out to the landscapes that make this corner of the Southwest so special: City of Rocks State Park, the Gila National Forest, and the Gila Cliff Dwellings, plus easy downtown nature like Ditch Park. We also stop into the Grant County Art Guild Gallery to learn how a cooperative space helps local artists thrive.
