When I go to the spice stores in Artesia I get strange unfriendly looks. I am not Indian. Is that the reason for the unwelcoming behavior?

[edit] Official website

I just wanted to say that the official website for the city of Artesia listed on the Little India article is incorrect. It is [www.cityofartesia.us] The one listed is a subsection of the Gateway Cities website.

As for the question asked about people staring at you when you're shopping, that may be a result of one's own paranoia or inexperience around other cultures.

I agree. I have several friends that are from European countries, Mexico, Cuba, and are Black, Brown, Yellow, and White, who all enjoy the fantastic finds while shopping in the spice shops and Indian shops along Pioneer Blvd. --- And, the concentration of Indian shops is within 4 or 5 city blocks along Pioneer. The rest of the city is like any other with a genuine mix of all kinds of people. It's a great place to live, and the city council and city manger are making great strides in improving the city. We have million dollar homes in Artesia, big name stores coming in, and in the past few years have really started to build some super-nice homes in the 400,000 to 800,000 price ranges. They are redeveloping blighted land and homeowners are fixing up their homes.

Artesia is a nice little town, I'm glad to be working for the city. And you are right (because I see these people all the time). The city manager, the mayor, the city council, and all staff are doing great things to improve the city.

[edit] Ice Skating Rink

Perhaps someone should make a mention of Michelle Kwan's ice rink as a possible landmark in the city. Since, it too, can add to the tourism and overall popularity of the town.
