Yeah I've also been. It's not one of those 'you have to be there' things. If you happen to be in Albuquerque or Socorro* for some reason: yeah check it out; it's not worth more than an hour drive.
*Was in Socorro myself, honestly not even sure it's worth the drive from Albuquerque unless you're a real atomic bomb fanatic.
It wasn't a positive impression. The town seemed like many other rural towns, especially in New Mexico. Dying. The Burger King was out of lettuce and ketchup, the Wall Mart was... interesting, and the motel I stayed in was pretty terrible. Add to that a wind storm in the middle of the night -- hot wind -- a parking lot with no lighting, and my Chihuahua that needed to go potty at 4am.
