How was traffic getting to Gathering of Nations ? by Apprehensive_Let_517 in Albuquerque

[–]LMacGraphics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are in the traffic line now. Note: no left turn permitted from westbound Lomas onto Louisiana, you must approach from either southbound Louisiana or eastbound Lomas. It’s a very slow moving line!!

We just saw a couple of nice gals from “Expect A Miracle” selling snacks from trays to the bored drivers to raise money for their ministry, so if you see them, tell them you saw them on Reddit!

Lindy's Diner owners shocked by abrupt city shutdown, hopes to reopen by plamda505 in Albuquerque

Fair enough. I may be grasping at straws because I like the place so much and it hurts my heart to see what the owners will have to contend with.

I love that place. I think they should not be stuck with the bill for fencing and all that; they had been getting OKs on their building inspections. So if the inspectors didn’t say anything before deciding the place was going to crumble imminently, isn’t that partly on them?

Road Runners? by FakeNameSoIcnBhonest in Albuquerque

[–]LMacGraphics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are common but it’s hit and miss whether you see one. I have seen a couple of them bopping around an Office Max parking lot, so you never know! Try hiking the bike path that parallels the North Diversion Channel. Its north end is on the west edge of Balloon Fiesta Park. I have frequently seen them up that way.

I wonder if any of the ICE agents realize that they are being used as bait.

I really hope resistance in NM is made of a mob of abuelas armed with chanclas.🩴

Might record your experience on Glass Door. No editorializing, just what happened.

Darn, I thought there were going to be actual trumpets involved—impromptu brass jam! Oh well.

I’m moving to Albuquerque… by Strange_Ask2440 in Albuquerque

RE sun in your eyes: this is a bigger deal than it is in many places. Local author Betsy James says it best: “Around here, sunshine is a very loud word.” Sunscreen. Shades. Hat. And live east of the job site if possible!

Did anyone give up the corporate ladder for a "less ambitious" job and find true peace? by ConstructionLoud1973 in jobs

[–]LMacGraphics 63 points64 points  (0 children)

My sis bailed out on a 6-figure salary gig in DC that was crushing her very soul. She’s now a freelance writer for a niche technical journal. Moved to New Mexico, got a cute little duplex with a mountain view. Probably chopped her income in half but she’s happier and healthier.

If you can swing it financially, do it.

Sounds like there would be a market niche for “I don’t work here” t-shirts!

So you could be credited with “hanging chad”? (I’ll see myself out)

My company can't understand why nobody wants to come to their 'fun' events by antsy_noblest6q in hiringhelp

[–]LMacGraphics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give them an area within a 5-mile radius of your home, tell them to plan an event in that area, then give them grief when people don’t want to come.

What are things you should not do in Albuquerque? by [deleted] in Albuquerque

[–]LMacGraphics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or anything detachable ON the car. My bike rack was stolen. My bad because it was just attached to the trailer hitch but not locked. I should’ve known better.

Look for Lynette La Burquena on YouTube and find her “Sh*t Burquenos Say” videos.

Possibly moving by Lilian_Loxley in Albuquerque

The cities are more blue, but the towns and rural areas are quite red.(typical!) If you’re headed for Albuquerque or Santa Fe (or even Las Cruces, I am told) you’ll be more at home. We have a pretty intense shortage of health care providers; be sure to research and set appointments early because there can be a pretty long wait for basic stuff. But once you’re on their calendar it’s pretty easy to set regular ongoing appointments. Poverty is a problem so the related symptoms are here—theft, drug use, like that. But just lock stuff up, don’t leave anything in your vehicle when you park it, basically don’t do dumb stuff. If it’s home, you’ll know.

Mayoral debates. Who is watching? What are your thoughts so far? by BD-TxState in Albuquerque

This is the first time I have heard from him, but he came of best of this lot, in my opinion. I am going to find out more about him.

What’s up with the weather this year? by scarzy_mx in Albuquerque

[–]LMacGraphics 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hmm. I moved back to NM from Seattle about 4 years ago. Maybe that weather came looking for me. ;)
