Yes, I’ve heard of it. I currently live there! White Sands is worth the tour to, but not much else.
Except Si Senor’s. They have muy excellente Mexican.
Now the real question is, “Red or green?”
How does this compare to Tia Lupe’s?
I knew.
But I live in Las Cruces, just on the other side of WSMR, so that’s not much of an accomplishment.
I live in New Mexico, so yes, I’ve heard of it- been there several times. The Trinity connection was not my first guess, however. I thought of White Sands & Holloman AFB.
As Dag Otto said, Socorro is much closer to the Trinity site, and so are several other small towns. Alamogordo is over 60 miles southeast of the site.
There are a couple of rock shops on 380 that sell trinitite.
I’m familiar with both the Trinity test site and the White Sands range, but have never heard of Alamogordo.
Most of us know, but then we’re the smart ones on the 'net. 
I know.
Wasn’t that the place where Taco Bell actually figured out how to put extra cheese on a taco? Cynics said it could not be done. Accountants said it would cost too much. But those bastards from Taco Bell did it by God. God bless America!
I did a project on atomic energy when I was 12 so knew about it from that. I doubt it’s common knowledge around these parts.
Isn’t Freddie Mercury from there?
I know because my next-door-neighbor just moved here from there. If you’d asked me a year ago, I would not have known. I would have known Trinity and White Sands, but not Alamogordo (which my neighbor refers to by a less-than-affectionate sobriquet).
Lived in Albuquerque for 4 years while my father was stationed at Kirtland AFB. Is that cheating?
BTW - Man, I miss the Travis’ at K&I Diner.
And the correct answer is always “green.”
+1 and you win the thread!
