Thanks for the recollection.

I can't think of anything relevant to add other than I spent my formative years in Artesia (my grandmother lived there until her death in the late '90s). I hope it treated you well while you were there.

I had a blast although we didn’t get to see much of the town.

I think the turning point was prior to 9/11. Perhaps the 2000 election was the turning point and 9/11 was the catalyst.
