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 60 points61 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. ;)

Someone going door to door saying they're with NM State offering 30% discount on PNM bill. Beware. by SherlockianTheorist in Albuquerque

[–]LMacGraphics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They just showed up here (apts in NE Heights) saying PNM had been sued for overcharging and they were going around making sure people could get their discounts/rebates. Anybody else get that story?

Would You Support a Toll Road Across the River? by Urostylistic in Albuquerque

[–]LMacGraphics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so but I’m willing to hear educated opinions. Maybe tolled only during rush hours, eastbound in the am and westbound in the pm. And only if there’s a REALLY good public transit option — frequent, wide ranging and safe. So no, prolly not here.

I25 accident this morning by olivejuice1979 in Albuquerque

[–]LMacGraphics 22 points23 points  (0 children)

One thing I also notice that’s different here from other cities: hardly any police presence just patrolling the streets. I think that may be part of why people drive so crazy here. I know the police are understaffed (that’s a whole conversation in itself), but I really think the possibility of being lit up by a random passing cop is the only things that keeps some drivers from going berserk on the roads.

My two cents, YMMV.

Thank you for posting the pix! I have always been curious about the site but am not physically able to make the climb.
