Question: As we will be staying in a timeshare condo, we like to have some meals "at home." Can you e-mail me names and locations of where we can buy groceries? There must be a few people in town who cook their own food ... thank you.

Answer: Ruidoso has three large grocery stores and several smaller speciality shops and a pretty good size health food store to boot.

Lawrence Brothers IGA on Mechem
Thriftway Grocery on Mechem
Wild Herb Market (health food) on Sudderth
Walmart Super Center out on HWY 70 in Ruidoso Downs

You'll have no problem finding any of these when you get to town. Enjoy your visit and let us know if you need any additional information. Thanks for the question!

Question: We're old as dirt and need regular meds. We're going to spending our first summer ever in Ruidoso and would like to know what type of drug stores are there so we can stay alive for god's sake. Thanks and I hope I don't die before this summer.

Answer: I'm guessin' the fresh air up here will do you and your other a world of good ... blow out the cobwebs an' all. I think we can handle what you need with our three local pharmacies. These are:

Long's Drugs on Mechem DR
Walgreens on Sudderth Drive
Walmart Super Center on HWY 70

All of these are easy to find when you're in town. Enjoy your stay and let us know if you need any additional information. Thanks for the question!

Question: We're going to be staying for awhile and was wondering about a video store of some kind ... a place for movies and games and stuff for the kids.

Answer: We've got ourselves a real nice Blockbuster, an equally nice Movie Gallery and even the Lawrence Brothers IGA Grocery has a pretty good selection of movies and such. With all this great outdoors though, I'm figurin' you may do a little less cinema spectatin' than you think.

Answer: Had a wife once who like to shop a bit ... but that's another story. Sounds like Midtown Ruidoso will give you the fix your needin'. A veritable cornucopia of choices most of which is stuff you won't see anywhere else as well. Visit right here for a list of shops in the Ruidoso New Mexico area.
