Ty's Take

Two community institutions marking milestones this week, and both tell you something about what holds Silver City together. The Woman's Club bringing families in for a day of activities is the kind of glue work that doesn't make anybody's name in lights, but it's why neighborhoods don't hollow out. Then Fort Bayard turning 160 this year, which means we're talking about a place that's been anchoring the eastern part of the county since before most of us were born, through boom times and busts and everything in between. These aren't flashy headlines, but they're reminders that some things around here stick around because people decide they're worth keeping around.
