Evelyn Bruder’s Dream Team blog

Recently, I had the opportunity to talk to Mr. Trae Blanco, band director at Las Cruces High School, about the state of public schooling in Las Cruces. As a fresh-faced 24 year old, Mr. Blanco almost looks like he could blend into the crowds of high school boys and no one would know the difference, [...]

Well, beauty is certainly in the eye of the beholder, but this Monday, we went hiking at the Dripping Springs trail just 15 minutes outside of town and I can tell you that this oasis is certainly in the running. There was not a cloud in the sky at 10AM as we cruised down Highway [...]

The PanAm Center here in Las Cruces is no stranger to big name acts, especially over the last few years. In a short amount of time, the NMSU arena has hosted celebrities like Bill Cosby, The Trans Siberian Orchestra, Kelly Clarkson, and more, and coming up in just a few weeks’ time Las Cruces will [...]

In this blog entry I talked about the cuisine of Las Cruces and how important they are to our community and culture. Of all the wonderful things we have to eat here, red and green chile is certainly the most defining food; we put it in everything, dessert and drinks included. But a few evenings [...]

This morning, I woke up to a lovely 1/4″ dusting of snow on the ground, which is always a surprise in Las Cruces. It had gotten unusually cold last night, dipping into the low 30’s, which can sometimes be a nice reminder that it is still winter. So many days the temperature stays at a [...]

As I did my weekly peruse of real estate blogs around the nation, I came across one story that really caught my eye. RealtyInIdaho.com recently asked the question, Where are the safest places to live in the United States? The data they used to generate the results came from Bert Sperling, a database expert [...]

Did you know that 28% of traffic incidents, including accidents with fatalities, occur when a driver is using a cell phone? The Washington Post
Last month, Las Cruces became the sixth city in the state of New Mexico to restrict the use of mobile phones while driving, with city council unanimously passing tough punishments and fines [...]

You may remember THIS BLOG in which I talked about bringing Hollywood to New Mexico, where tax incentives and cheap labor costs lure production companies to our expansive state. I have always had a positive stance on show business being in New Mexico, as it has a positive effect on our community economically and socially. [...]

The good stuff (and the bad stuff) changes with every mile that you drive, every state line that you cross, and every ocean that you hop; we always try to avoid major chains when [...]

My husband and I love to travel. That is our number one hobby; packing up and heading out to uncover a part of the world we have never seen. We love to try to experience the culture of a new place in every which way, which always includes sightseeing and eating. We have been to [...]
