What I love about Roswell is that main street is locked in a time machine for the most part. The buildings and the feel of it are almost all Old Americana. I think there’s a CVS or something like that but for the most part it looks like it’s a movie set for a WW2 film.
I liked the place for the same reasons.

That’s because when
Walker AFB closed back in 1967, Roswell lost all the military payrolls. Walker AFB was the life blood of Roswell.
Many of the businesses in town took the airmen to the cleaners, and when word got out that the base was closing, the city did all it could to squeeze the last dollar out of the military.
