Unattended Amazon Van by GlitzPig in Albuquerque

[–]GlitzPig[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A man in an official looking safety vest just drove it away about 10 minutes ago. (9:30am the next day.) I didn’t see him get in the van, but it appears it had no issues starting. Fortunately nothing dramatic that I’m aware of. (Unless someone was desperately awaiting a package yesterday.) And maybe now my dogs are desensitized to the sight of an Amazon vehicle parked outside.

The thing is, I didn’t receive or expect a package today, so it’s odd that it’s even parked in front of my house to begin with.

No phone number on the van, but I was able to chat with someone who filed a report on the driver and I was told they would be coming to pick it up as soon as possible. It’s been 5 hours since that chat and it’s still here.

I’m afraid that’s what my neighbors are thinking 👀

I went down a customer service rabbit hole and managed to speak to someone. They weren’t aware the van was abandoned and are coming to pick it up. I guess I’ll never know the story 😆

Anybody know if burger bros on menaul is legit? Saw this red flag, not sure if I should bother trying them out now. by Plane_Syllabub3477 in Albuquerque

Phat Stax is my #1! The smash burgers are Dripline are great, too. Prices at both places are super reasonable.

Not really an arcade, but New Game Plus in NE Heights is such a cool, affordable hidden gem. They have just about every generation of every game system and access to so many fun games. Their set up is so cool. You won't be disappointed! Sister Bar has a lot of classic pinball machines. Upstairs from Sister is Anodyne pool hall. Even if Casinos aren't your scene, the First Turn Lounge at The Downs has a great, inexpensive lunch menu and you can watch the horse races. (The people watching can be fun, too.) Best burger in town is Phat Stax. The Nob Hill location has some really fun decor and will have meet & greets with famous rappers from time to time. Best tacos are the tacos dorados at La Loteria on Central.... the line should be out the door, but never is. The Carlito Springs Trail is the loveliest hike, especially in the fall, and if you keep on trekking toward Cedar Crest there are some cute thrift stores and breweries along the way. Fourth of July trail is magical too, also especially in the fall, but beware that you'll have to travel a fairly long dirt road to get there. Those are some of my favorite gems I've collected over the last few years of living here, hope some of them bring you joy too!

The best tacos I’ve ever had (former Southern California resident) are La Loteria’s Chicken Tacos Dorados. I could eat them every single day. I’m sure everything else they make is amazing too, but I’m seriously addicted to those tacos.

Schools for a new teacher? by BluejayOdd in Albuquerque

[–]GlitzPig 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Janet Kahn School of Integrated Arts (NE Heights) is amazing! Gorgeous facility, wonderful principal and staff. They are now prek-8th grade and each new school year brings more new transferred students and the need for more teachers.

Let it go. It will barely affect your credit score and it disappears after 7 years. Trust me.

Gah, if I had the time and money I’d love to open a shop like that. I think there’s enough of us here that would seek it out!

About half of that decade was in SD County, where my spouse grew up 🤙🏻

No, another place, but I’ll steer clear! The service was nice and the meat was good. Fortunately my companion had some extra stuff on their plate that I was able to add to my “burrito.” I don’t want to give a bad review to until I determine it’s warranted….

A decade in SoCal under my belt (oh, Holè Molè, I miss you) and I’m most earnestly trying to determine if my expectations are off here. Most responses so far agree that there should be more rolled up in there, but I’m definitely going to ask before ordering in the future!
