Los Alamos was a classified research laboratory site, built as part of the Manhattan Project to develop an atomic bomb, along with Oak Ridge, Tennessee, and Hanford, Washington. The site was home to a “secret city” built to accommodate thousands of scientists, engineers, and their families.
On July 16, 1945, the world's first nuclear explosion occurred when a plutonium implosion device was detonated at a site located 210 miles south of Los Alamos, in New Mexico.

Get the alamo mug.Alamogordo, what else do I have to say about this fucking place? This is where dreams go to die, to put it simply. If you are a military brat of a young enlisted parent, you’ve still got some kind of shot at getting out. But if you grew up here, or if your parent is retiring, I’m sorry, you might as well become a teacher, or a fast food worker. All in the same.
Remember when you wanted to be great, and said it like you meant it? Remember when you wanted to to actually do things when you were growing up? Me neither, it’s a really long time since I didn’t feel like collapsing, and wishing I never moved here.
Not going to lie, the people you meet here are some the most amazing people you’ll ever meet. Parts of them will remind you of how you were before moving here. But they’ll all get on your nerves once you grow old with them. Time stays still whenever you’re in Alamogordo.

Get the Alamogordo mug.A dry, desert town in southern New Mexico with some crazy weather, a few hoarders, and a shit ton of Baptists. The stars here shine clearly, which makes for splendid astronomic observation- hence why they built an observatory on the mountain. It is near Cloudcroft, Las Cruces, and (sort-of) El Paso. It is said that the only things to do in Alamogordo are to go to church or go to hell. A lot of retirees tend to come here. It's no wonder why you find druggies in the big pipe that runs between Mountain View Middle School and Alamogordo High School. You'd best get out while you still can. If all else fails, you can join the military. You will not find acceptance or forward mobility here. Sometimes it is hailed as the "Land of Entrapment", as the police run out of things to do there and will quite often pull you over for no reason. Despite these glaring issues, with a solid foundation and good people surrounding you, it can be a stable, beautiful (albeit impoverished) home. For the young and ambitious, it isn't a place you should be settling. To devote your life to this place may mean a cold, lonely death in the desert. Such is the fate of a humble Alamogordian.
