    Yup, these other ratings are still really old in the world of Yelp. Lol…read more And I just have to tell it how it is so you can understand what you're dealing with if you have to go to the one and only Hobbs Post Office. Don't show up during the regular business hours lunch break times... it gets crowded. It's always crowded during any holiday. Or days preceding a big holiday. The line moves ridiculously slow more times than not! They often lock the door on the north end of the building due to "blowing wind" which is where I prefer to enter... However, the doors at the main entrance are just as difficult to open and slams the glass ajar & shut when said high wind is in session. The lines in the parking lot need to repainted, but even then folks would still park like drunk schmucks. The employees, while mostly friendly, tend to be somewhat unprofessional here. If they had a self-service kiosk for stamps, I'd probably never choose to deal with the front desk folks. On another note, the mailman that comes to my brother's house which has an office for his business that I work for does not handle our packages with care. Our cameras show him dropping them and tossing our clients' very expensive goods carelessly. Yep... I'm gonna keep complaining in person and on here because they recently raised prices on the post office boxes. Plus I have high suspicions this same office lost my birth certificate about 15 years ago! (At least that's what the US passport agency told me.)

I can call 30+ times a day and it rings for two solid minutes and then disconnects. I wish I knew how else to reach them or if I should just give up trying to call all together.

    Sallie Chisum Robert Historical Marker

    This official scenic historical marker is along US-82 outside of Artesia. There is a small area to…read morepull off to the side of the road to read the sign and have a look at the (desolate) vicinity. The marker reads, "Sallie Chisum Robert, First Lady of Artesia, 1858-1936. Sallie was 19 when she arrived from Texas at her Uncle John Chisum's Jinglebob Land and Livestock Company ranch south of Roswell. Her ranching skills rivaled those of the cowboys she joined driving cattle up her uncle's Goodnight - Loving Trail to Colorado. She and her second husband opened the first post office and reading room in what became Artesia. Her landholdings are part of Artesia's original townsite and include the site of her cast-stone house where she raised many orphans. It is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Some of her diaries preserved at the Artesia Historical Museum and Art Center. They include entries about her uncle, Billy the Kid, the Regulators, and the Lincoln County war." There is more online. Sallie lived in Texas until her mother and sister's deaths, when she moved to New Mexico to live with her uncle, cattle barron John Chisum. It was said that every cowboy in the area was in love with Sallie Chisum. In her diary, she wrote a little about the soon to be famous outlaw, William Bonney, aka, Billy the Kid. "He was brimming over with lighthearted gaiety and good humor. He always looked as if he had just stepped out of a band box. In a broad brimmed white hat, dark coat and vest, gray trousers worn over his boots, gray flannel shirt and black four in hand tie, and sometimes, would you believe it?, a flower in his lapel and quite the dandy." In her old age Sallie was interviewed about Billy the Kid and said of the infamous legend, "In all his personal relations he was the 'pink' of politeness and as courteous a little gentleman as I ever met." Sallie is laid to rest at South Park Cemetery in Roswell. [Review 17436 overall - 50 in New Mexico - 954 of 2022.]
