Main Street Moriarty
Since moving to the small town two and a half years ago, I've come to appreciate living in Moriarty, New Mexico, in many ways. Sure, there are issues, as with any town no matter the size. But the good outweighs the bad. Here are some of the things I've noticed about Moriarty. Some are trivial, others more consequential.

The town is located about 30 miles from Al
