Alamoghetto 

Local name for Alamogordo, New Mexico... dustbowl of a wasteland. Empty buildings galore. So ghetto, wrecked cars just seem to fit in.

"Dude you live in Alamoghetto?"
"Yeah bro, it's basically dirt and tumbleweeds."

Alamoghetto 

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.

I saw a tumbleweed in Alamoghetto yesterday, I wonder if it remembered to go to church last Sunday.
