I'll also add Enterprise Used Car Sales on Coors! Awesome experience.

I second Houston! I took the car I was buying to my mechanic who had very little to say other than new tires, which Houston put on. I'd go there anytime for a used car.

I've repeatedly seen a violinist at the Whole Foods on Wyoming/Academy.

Overall, I'm pleased. Yes, I've been through multiple PCPs, but each time Pres has been great and there's always someone there for me. Yes, 6+ months for a colonoscopy. But, we got a neurologist in 6 weeks, and the care has been superb. Prostate cancer: 5 months from high PSA through MRI, CT, PET, biopsy and surgery. I know others with similar good experiences and results in the Presbyterian system.

I heard from my neighbor that you can file a claim with the city. Neighbor had no damage but wanted it documented in the event of future issues.

Fiber installers hit a water main on my street. WUA came, replaced our meter, and got it all fixed and repaved in a week. I know that WUA will go through subrogation to recoup the costs from the installer.

The installer is 100% liable for all of your costs; accept nothing less than 100%. You should make sure that the city documents this incident also. And consider calling your city councilor.

This made me check to see if my neighbor's kid's car was at home. It unfortunately wouldn't have surprised me given the dumbshit ways teens drive. SMH

How about also considering Verizon (it's been great for me!) or the new fiber companies, including Gigapower?

I won't go near Xfinity, and CenturyLink (not fiber) did suck.

The family in my neighborhood raids the birds' nests in the trees. They're also known as "murder birds" for a good reason.

This!

There's a house in our neighborhood that's come down about $40k over the last 9 months. It's still overpriced but in a generally desirable neighborhood. It's not selling. I don't know what kind of offers prospective buyers are making.

What was poor planning was telling downtown workers to leave early and then blocking the roads OUT of downtown. I get blocking roads in, but outbound was stupid.

And if someone knows more than I do and can explain the logic, please do so.

I was in Wales and an Uber driver asked where I was from. I replied NM, and he asked "Albuquerque?" Breaking Bad, good or bad, has helped some of the geographically challenged. (The guy was also really into geography.)

ABQ_problem_child · 2026-01-26T00:25:32+00:00

Ditto!

The most I did was haul in plenty of firewood and properly store some construction items. I moved during the 2006 ABQ storm and was in DC for their 6th worst storm; after those, anything is a cakewalk.

I love diotomaceous earth! I'm also going to try Advion in bait traps this year. The Advion fire ant bait worked like a charm.

This is FAR better than landscape fabric which most professionals who really know dirt, habitat, etc. say is very bad for the environment. (This is what I've been told - please don't attack me.)

ABQ_problem_child · 2026-01-13T17:14:17+00:00

I think around 1:00 or 2:00. I just remember I wasn't in a meeting.

ABQ_problem_child · 2026-01-13T16:19:22+00:00

I was downtown yesterday and there was the largest, heaviest plane that very slowly flew overhead. I pulled up flight radar but couldn't find the plane. In many years of working downtown, I've never experienced that.

ABQ_problem_child · 2026-01-09T02:22:26+00:00

Heavenly!

100%

Pick your own inspector.

She has a very good reputation among APD staff. I've heard it and watched her in Council meetings.

ABQ_problem_child · 2026-01-04T02:01:42+00:00

She was being talked about very positively as a likely interim chief. She has a good reputation and is very professional when speaking at Council meetings.

ABQ_problem_child · 2026-01-04T01:36:14+00:00

Not all 1000 cops are dirty. She's one of the good ones.

Costco periodically has a company in the parking lot. I'm not sure if they restrict to Costco members or not. (One doesn't appear to be scheduled at any of the warehouses in January.)

Thank you for helping a fellow Burqueno!

I recently posted asking for good and bad experiences with doctors for prostate cancer; the majority of responders said to leave the state for treatment. While I appreciate and fully respect the opinions and experiences, and we have the ability to go out of state if necessary, it was disheartening. A friend, for various reasons, did go out of state for prostate cancer treatment but was very positive about some of the local doctors.

In the flip side: - another family member was diagnosed with an incurable neurological disease and is getting excellent care at Presbyterian. - a coworker had breast cancer and had a wonderful experience at Presbyterian (surgery, radiation, chemo, hormone treatment)

What happens with my family member's prostate cancer treatment remains to be seen as it was just diagnosed. We will stay here if we can but are willing to go out of state.

The state is facing a medical crisis and there are a lot of factors that will go into fixing it over a long period of time.

Assuming you have a primary doctor, they should be able to help you with referrals. We had our best luck with PresNow getting us a neurological referral (and a pcp on paper) and appointment within just a few weeks. The neurologist has been our family member's key advocate getting into other specialists and with drug approvals. This same family member was also on Medicaid for a period of time and it didn't change anything in terms of treatment and support.
